Removal and Installation: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Infiniti M45 and 2008 Infiniti M35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
- Check for deformation of the grommets (18 and 20 of Components).
- Insert the collar (15 of Components) vertically.
- Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.
- Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly. Tighten them to the specified torque when connecting the vehicle rear to the vehicle front.
CAUTION:
- Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
- Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped onto a hard surface such as a concrete floor; use a new one.
- Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
- Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the "MIL" coming on.
- If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat insulator, remove them.
- When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each exhaust pipe.
- Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid gases leakage.
- Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehicle side. Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
- When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left directions.
