Prior to removing the exhaust manifold on the right, take out the battery's negative cable, lift up the car and remove all the nuts and bolts securing the
Exhaust Pipe to the manifold. Lower the vehicle, take out the
Exhaust Heat Shield, cut through the bolts, nuts and washers on the manifold, then remove the manifold and gasket from the cylinder head. With the same steps, detach the negative battery cable, place the vehicle on stands, disconnect the exhaust pipe from the manifold, lower the car, disable the heat shields, take out the bolts, nuts and washers and then extract the left exhaust manifold and gasket. If the studs pulled out with the nuts during removal of the exhaust manifold, put in new studs and cover the coarse ends with a sealing substance to stop water leaks. Set both the engine exhaust manifold and its gasket onto the studs of the cylinder head, then install conical washers and nuts, tightening the bolts and nuts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.), always starting with the central bolt and tightening the bolts around it in a circular direction. Secure the heat screens, get the car onto four jack stands and be careful not to make the fasteners excessively tight or the deflector could warp or break. Connect the exhaust pipe to the manifold and use bolts, nuts and retainers to hold them in place, tightening to a torque of 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.). To install the left manifold, follow the same preparation, use sealer on new studs if required, place the manifold and gasket, fit conical washers and nuts, tighten them by hand to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.), attach the heat shields after installing the manifold and raise and support the vehicle to insert the exhaust pipe into the manifold, securing it with bolts, nuts and circuit retainers tightened to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
