Removal Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda B2300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Do not use oil or grease-based lubricants on the isolators. These lubricants may cause deterioration of the rubber. This can lead to separation of the isolator from the exhaust hanger bracket during vehicle operation.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. See LIFTING .
  2. Disconnect the heated oxygen sensors (HO2S) and catalyst monitor sensor electrical connectors.
  3. Remove the exhaust down pipe-to-muffler and tailpipe assembly bolts.
