INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
- Always replace exhaust gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
- If any insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If
deposits such as mud pile up on the insulator,

the bolts on the vehicle side. Check each part for interference with
other components, and then tighten the nuts and bolts to specification.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
- With the engine running, check the exhaust tube joints for exhaust
gas leaks and unusual noises.
