RH Exhaust Manifold

Removal

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 .

2. Recover the refrigerant. For additional information, refer to Section 412-00 .

3. If equipped, remove the 4 nuts and the strut tower cross brace.

4. NOTE: The engine appearance cover rubber grommets may remain on the cover. If so, remove the grommets from the cover and install them on the intake manifold before installing the cover.

   If equipped, remove the engine appearance cover.

5. Remove the bolt and position the sound enhancement pipe aside.

6. Remove the 8 pin-type retainers and the upper radiator sight shield.

7. Remove the A/C compressor fitting nut and disconnect the fitting.

13. Using the Engine Support Bar, raise the engine 25 mm (0.984 in).

14. Remove the 4 nuts (2 shown) and the front crossmember brace.

15. Remove the RH catalytic converter. For additional information, refer to Section 309-00 .

16. Remove the starter. For additional information, refer to Section 303-06 .

17. Remove the 3 bolts and lower the underbody shield.

18. Remove the transmission fluid cooler tube nut and bracket from the flexplate inspection cover stud bolt.

19. Remove the nut from the RH engine support insulator bracket stud bolt and position the transmission cooler tube clamp aside.

20. Detach the wiring harness retainers from the RH side of the oil pan and the RH engine support insulator bracket stud bolt.

21. Remove the nut and ground strap from the RH engine support insulator bracket.

22. NOTE: The RH engine support insulator has been removed from the graphic for clarity.

    Remove the 2 bolts, the 2 stud bolts and the RH engine support insulator bracket.

23. Remove the 8 nuts and the RH exhaust manifold.
    • Discard the gasket.

     • Stage 2: Tighten to 32 Nm (24 lb-ft).

4. NOTE: The engine support insulator bracket must be positioned on the engine support insulator stud. If necessary, adjust the height of the engine using the engine support bar.

   Install the RH engine support insulator bracket, the 2 bolts and the 2 stud bolts.
   • Tighten to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).

5. Install the ground strap and the nut to the RH engine support insulator bracket.
   • Tighten to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).
