Refit

Refit
- Check for and remove any debris from inside the underfloor catalytic converter pipes and the mating pipes.
- Apply exhaust sealant sparingly to the outer surface of the olive.
- Apply exhaust sealant sparingly to approximately 1 inch of the outer surface at the output end of the underfloor pipes. Do not apply sealant to the inner surfaces of the catalytic converter pipes or to the rear section pipes.
- Position the clamping ring onto the front of the underfloor pipe.
- Fit the rear mounting rubber for the underfloor converter to its support bracket.
- Fit the underfloor converter to the rear silencer sections and to the rear mounting rubber.

Pipe Joint:





- Fit the olive (3) to the pipe joint (downpipe to underfloor catalytic converter).
- Position the clamping ring over the joint and fit the retaining bolt, washers and new locking nut(1).
- Tighten the clamp bolt sufficiently to hold the assembly together.
- Fully locate the rear silencer sections to the underfloor section.

Exhaust Pipe Clamps:





- Tighten the clamp bolts (1) sufficiently to hold the assembly together. Ensure that the rear silencers are positioned correctly to provide adequate clearance and that no load is applied to the pipes and mountings.
- Check for clearance between the gearbox sump and the underfloor pipe.
- Set the position of the front clamping ring to ensure that the bolt and clamp will not be damaged when driving over uneven ground.
- Tighten the clamp bolts to the correct torque.
- Lower the ramp.
- Start the engine and check that the exhaust system does not leak.
