- Remove the exhaust flange fasteners (2).
- Remove the bracket (3) from the exhaust manifold.

- Remove the bolt (4) securing the exhaust line rubber mount bracket to the body.

- Remove the bolt (5) securing the silencer rubber mount bracket to the body.
- Move the exhaust line rearward.

- Remove the oxygen sensor (6) using tool (Mot. 1495-01).
- Remove the upper heat shield (7) from the exhaust manifold.

- Remove:
- the nine new exhaust manifold mounting nuts,
- the exhaust manifold.
ON WORKBENCH

- Remove the lower heat shield.
INSTALLATION
- Always replace:
- the manifold gaskets,
- the exhaust flange gaskets,
- the manifold nuts.

- Refit in the reverse order of removal.
- Tighten in the following order and to the following torques:
- manifold nuts (K4J and K4M engines) (2.3 +/- 0.3 daN.m),
- manifold nuts (F4R engine) (1.8 daN.m),
- the heat shield bolt (1 daN.m),
- the oxygen sensors (4.5 daN.m),
- the exhaust line rubber mount bracket bolts to body (2.1 daN.m),
- the bracket bolt to exhaust manifold (0.8 daN.m),
- the exhaust manifold bracket nut to gearbox (2.1 daN.m) (F4R engine only),
- the exhaust flange nuts (2 daN.m).
Connect the battery; carry out the necessary re-learns (see Electrical Equipment chapter).
