Flange Surface Installation Note

Caution
•  If the TWC or main silencer is reused, sand the flange surface and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks before installing the seal ring.
•  If this work is not performed, the seal ring may not be installed correctly. When sanding the flange surface, be careful not to damage the surface.
•  When sanding the flange surface, sanding residue may get into the removed part or pipe resulting in deterioration or damage to the part. When sanding, make sure parts are protected from sanding residue or foreign matter penetration.

1.  Sand the surface shown in the figure using sandpaper and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks.

2.  Degrease the sanded surface.

Seal Ring Installation Note

Caution
•  If the TWC or main silencer is reused, sand the flange surface and remove sanding residue, accumulated matter, and friction marks before installing the seal ring. If this work is not performed, the seal ring may not be installed correctly.
•  If installation is performed without using the SST, the seal ring will be damaged and deformed, resulting in an incorrect installation. Always use the SST to install the seal ring.

1.  Temporarily install the seal ring to the pipe so that the seal ring is even with the flange.

2.  Install the SST to the seal ring so that the SST is even with the flange.

amxuuw00005243

3.  Press in the seal ring by tapping the SST using a plastic hammer until the seal ring contacts the flange.
