1. Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the compression spring.
   

   Minimum length:

   40 mm (1.57 in.)
   

   If the length is less than the minimum replace the compression spring.
   

2. Install the front pipe to the pipe support.
   

3. Install a new gasket to the outlet pipe.
   

   HINT:

   Using a plastic-faced hammer, uniformly strike the gasket so that the gasket and outlet pipe are properly fit.

   NOTICE:

   1. Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
      
   2. Do not reuse the gasket.
      
   3. To ensure a proper seal, do not use the front pipe to force the gasket onto the outlet pipe.
      

4. Install the front pipe with the 2 compression springs and 2 bolts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.
   

   Torque:

   43 N*m{ 438 kgf*cm , 32 ft.*lbf }

1. Using SST, install the sensor.
   

   SST

   09224-00010  
   

   Torque:

   44 N*m{ 449 kgf*cm , 32 ft.*lbf }

   40 N*m{ 408 kgf*cm , 30 ft.*lbf } for use with SST

   HINT:

   Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 30 cm (11.81 in.).

2. Attach the 3 wire clamps to the vehicle body.
   

3. Connect the sensor connector.
   

1. Install the center pipe to the 3 pipe supports.
   

2. Install a new gasket and the center pipe to the front pipe with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.
   

   Torque:

   48 N*m{ 489 kgf*cm , 35 ft.*lbf }

   NOTICE:

   Do not reuse the gasket.

1. Install the tailpipe to the pipe support.
   

2. Install a new gasket and the tailpipe to the center pipe with the 2 bolts and 2 nuts. Alternately tighten the bolts in several passes.
   

   Torque:

   48 N*m{ 489 kgf*cm , 35 ft.*lbf }

   NOTICE:

   Do not reuse the gasket.

1. Perform initialization (Click here ).
   

   NOTICE:

   Certain systems need to be initialized after disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
