      *a

      Plastic Hammer

      *b

      Protruding Part

      *c

      Concave

      Align the concave area of new tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly with the protruding part of the tail exhaust pipe assembly as shown in the illustration.

    2. Using a plastic hammer, uniformly tap the tail exhaust pipe baffle sub-assembly onto the tail exhaust pipe assembly.

  2. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY

    1. A128853

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

      Minimum

      41.5 mm (1.63 in.)

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

      *2

      Gasket

      *a

      Wooden Block

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

      Note:
      • Be sure to install the gasket in the correct direction.

      • Do not reuse the gasket.

      • Do not damage the gasket.

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

    3. Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly to the 2 exhaust pipe supports.

    4. Install a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly.
