      Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression springs.

      Free Length of Compression Springs
      Standard Length Minimum Length
      43 mm (1.693 in.) 41.5 mm (1.634 in.)

      If the length is not as specified, replace the compression spring.

      *1 Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly
      *2 Exhaust Pipe Gasket
      *a Wooden Block
      *b Plastic Hammer

      Using a plastic hammer and a wooden block, tap in a new exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.

      Note


      • Install the exhaust pipe gasket in the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not damage the exhaust pipe gasket by dropping it, etc.

      • Do not damage the outer surface of the exhaust pipe gasket.

      • Do not push in the exhaust pipe gasket with the front exhaust pipe assembly when connecting it.

    3. Connect the 3 exhaust pipe supports to install the front exhaust pipe assembly to the vehicle.
