Exhaust Pipe - Removal
REMOVAL
WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Therefore, never attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it is cooled. Special care should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after a short period of engine operation time.
WARNING: If torches are used when servicing the exhaust system, do not allow any flame near the fuel lines or the fuel tank. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
CAUTION: When servicing exhaust system components, disconnect the oxygen sensor connector(s). Allowing the exhaust system to hang by the oxygen sensor harness will damage the wiring and/or sensor.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Saturate the studs and nuts (1) with a Mopar(R) rust penetrant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
3. Disconnect the oxygen sensor connectors and remove the sensors from the exhaust pipe (2) and the catalytic converter.
4. Remove the exhaust pipe to catalytic converter nuts (1)
5. Remove the exhaust pipe to muffler flange retaining nuts.
6. Slide the exhaust pipe (2) rearward until the exhaust pipe hanger disengages from the transmission support. Remove the exhaust pipe (2) from the vehicle.
