Execution sequence
Comment. The operation is shown on the example of a car after 2000 of release. On earlier vehicles, the operation is performed similarly.
1. We install the car on a viewing ditch or overpass (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. With a metal brush, we clean the coupling clamp of the intermediate muffler from dirt and loose rust and treat it with a penetrating lubricant.
3. Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen the clamp nut.
Comment. At the top, the clamp is welded to the muffler.
4. Disconnect the main muffler (see «Main muffler - replacement»).
Warning! After disconnecting the main muffler, it is necessary to support the rear of the intermediate muffler.
5. Remove the intermediate muffler from the front suspension cushions, moving it back along the exhaust pipe.
Warning! After removing the intermediate muffler, support the rear of the downpipe.
Recommendation. To facilitate the separation of the muffler pipes, apply a few blows with a hammer around the circumference of the clamp and at the pipe connection.
6. Remove the intermediate muffler from the rear cushions.
7. Install the parts in reverse order.
