Removal Note
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda B3000. 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.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. See LIFTING .
- Remove the exhaust Y-pipe assembly-to-muffler and tailpipe assembly bolts, flag nuts and gasket.
- Disconnect the 3 rubber isolators and remove the muffler and tailpipe assembly.
