Removal
1 Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2 Remove the air cleaner metal intake duct
assembly.
3 Firmly apply the handbrake then jack up the
front of the vehicle and support it on axle
stands.
4 Unscrew the nuts securing the exhaust
front pipe to the manifold, then disconnect the
pipe and collect the gasket.
5 Remove the four exhaust manifold shroud
retaining screws and remove the shroud.
6 Unscrew the nuts securing the manifold to

signs of damage and corrosion. Remove all
traces of corrosion and repair or renew any
damaged studs.
Refitting
8 Refitting is the reverse of the removal
procedure, noting the following (see
illustrations):
a) Ensure that the manifold and cylinder
head sealing faces are clean and flat, then

Note: If a catalytic converter is fitted to the
exhaust system, remember that it is FRAGILE.
Do not use hammers, mallets, etc. to strike
any part of the system and take care not to
drop it or strike the converter against anything
while handling it.
17.8a Refitting exhaust manifold with new
gasket
1 On models not equipped with a catalytic
converter the exhaust system is in three
sections. All exhaust sections are joined by a
flanged joint. If a catalytic converter is fitted, it
is situated between the front pipe and the
