Removal - Front

  1. Raise vehicle on a body contact type hoist.
    NOTE: To provide removal clearance between muffler/resonator pipe and rear axle parts, the rear suspension must be relieved of all body weight.
  2. Apply a penetrating oil to flange nuts and torca clamp nuts of component requiring removal.
    CAUTION: When servicing the exhaust system, care must be exercised not to dent or bend the bellows of the flex-joint. Should this occur, the flex-joint will eventually fail, requiring replacement of the catalytic converter.
  3. Remove resonator/muffler assembly (Refer to REMOVAL  ).
  4. Loosen the torca clamp.
  5. Seperate the muffler from the catalytic converter and remove from the vehicle.
