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

      Minimum free length
      38.5 mm (1.52 in.)

      Tech Tips

      If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.

    3. Install the 2 new gaskets to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

      *1 Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly
      *2 Gasket
      *3 Wooden Block

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

      Note


      • Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

      • Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.

    5. Install 2 new gaskets and the front exhaust pipe with 4 new nuts, 8 bolts and the 4 compression springs.

      Torque:
      for exhaust manifold side
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }
      for tailpipe side
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

  5. CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR


    1. for Bank 2 Sensor 2:

        *B for AWD
        *1 Fulcrum Length

        Using SST, connect the heated oxygen sensor to the front exhaust pipe assembly.

        SST
        09224-00010
        Torque:
        without SST
        44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }
        with SST
        40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

        Tech Tips


        • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

        • Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line

      3. After installing the sensor, check that the sensor wire is not twisted.

        If the sensor wire is twisted, reinstall sensor.

      4. for AWD:

        Connect the grommet and attach the 2 clips of the heated oxygen sensor.

      5. for 2WD:

        Connect the grommet of the heated oxygen sensor.

    2. for Bank 1 Sensor 2:


      1. A01FFFE

        Before installing the heated oxygen sensor, twist the sensor wire counterclockwise 4 turns.

        Torque:
        without SST
        44 N*m  { 449 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }
        with SST
        40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

        Tech Tips


        • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 300 mm (11.8 in.). When using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length that is not 300 mm (11.8 in.), calculate the torque specification for the torque wrench and SST based on the "without SST" torque specification Click here.

        • Make sure SST and the wrench are connected in a straight line.

      3. After installing the sensor, check that the sensor wire is not twisted.

        If the sensor wire is twisted, reinstall the sensor.

      4. Connect the grommet of the heated oxygen sensor.

  6. INSTALL FRONT CENTER FLOOR BRACE


    1. Install the front center floor brace with the 2 clips, 6 bolts and 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      19 N*m  { 194 kgf*cm, 14 ft.*lbf }

  7. INSTALL NO. 2 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the No. 2 rear floor board sub-assembly with the 4 grommets and 7 clips.

  8. INSTALL NO. 1 REAR FLOOR BOARD SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the No. 1 rear floor board sub-assembly with the 4 grommets and 7 clips.

  9. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER LH (for AWD)


    1. Install the front floor cover LH with the 3 nuts and 3 grommets.

  10. INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAK

    If gas is leaking, tighten the areas necessary to stop the leak. Replace damaged parts as necessary.

    Tech Tips

    If an exhaust gas leak has been repaired, perform an inspection following the repair Click here.
