							2The exhaust system is suspended
throughout its entire length by rubber
mountings (see illustration).
Inspection
3Refer to Chapter 1.
Removal
4Each exhaust section can be removed
individually or, alternatively, the complete
system can be removed as a unit once the
front pipe has been unbolted from the
manifold and the system has been freed from
all its mounting rubbers.
5To remove the system or any part of the
system, first jack up the front or rear of the
vehicle and support it on axle stands.
Alternatively position the vehicle over an
inspection pit or on car ramps.
Front pipe
6Remove the three nuts securing the front
pipe flange joint to the manifold and, where
necessary, the two bolts securing the front
pipe to its mounting bracket. Separate the
flange joint and collect the gasket (see
illustration).
7Free the pipe from its mounting rubber then
undo the three nuts securing the front pipe to
the intermediate pipe/catalytic converter (as
applicable) and manoeuvre the front pipe out
from under the vehicle (see illustration).
Catalytic converter
8Slacken and remove the two nuts securing
the catalytic converter to the intermediate
pipe, then separate the flange joint and
recover the gasket.
9Undo the three nuts securing the converter to
the front pipe then remove it from the vehicle.
Intermediate pipe
10Slacken the two nuts securing the tailpipe
flange joint to the intermediate pipe and
separate the flange joint.
11Undo the three nuts securing the
intermediate pipe to the front pipe, or the two
nuts securing the pipe to the catalytic
converter (as applicable).
12Free the intermediate pipe from all its
mounting rubbers and manoeuvre it out from
under the vehicle.

							Tailpipe
13Remove the two nuts securing the tailpipe
flange joint to the intermediate pipe and
separate the joint (see illustration).
14Unhook the tailpipe from its three mounting
rubbers and remove it from the vehicle.
15If the threads of the intermediate pipe to
tailpipe studs are damaged, or the studs snap
when the nuts are being undone, the studs
can be knocked out of position and replaced
with bolts.
Refitting
16Each section is refitted by a reverse of the
removal sequence, noting the following:a) Ensure that all traces of corrosion have
been removed from the flanges.
b) Renew all necessary gaskets.
c) Inspect all rubber mountings for signs of
damage or deterioration and renew as
necessary.
d) Tighten all flange nuts by hand only 
to locate the disturbed section in 
position, then ensure all exhaust 
system rubber mountings are correctly
seated.
e) Check that there is adequate clearance
between the exhaust system and vehicle
underbody before tightening all flange
nuts to the specified torque.
