How to service the exhaust pipe on 2007 Toyota Solara?

Question

Accepted Answer

Service of the exhaust pipe starts with removing old gaskets before inspecting bolts and nuts for replacement. The service starts with removing the 2 bolts which hold the floor panel brace rear. Detach the exhaust pipe damper through bolt removal of its two fasteners. Proceed with removing the center exhaust pipe assembly by first removing two bolts from the front exhaust pipe assembly and two nuts from the same component along with two nuts from the tail exhaust pipe assembly and finally detach it from its 2 exhaust pipe supports. The heated oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 2) must be disconnected before its removal. Remove the front exhaust pipe No.1 support bracket through two nut removal and then remove the rear exhaust pipe No.1 support bracket by unscrewing two bolts. Start by unfastening two surrounding nuts on the front exhaust pipeassembly before completely removing it from the three exhaust pipe supports. Use a plastic hammer for even tapping and uninstall of the tail pipe baffle. To install the baffle properly position its keyway into the tailpipe key location then carefully hit it into place with a plastic hammer. First install the tail exhaust pipe assembly with its 3 exhaust pipe supports and then install the front exhaust pipe assembly with a new gasket to the exhaust manifold converter before torquing 2 nuts to 62 Nm (632 kgf-cm, 46 ft.lbf). The rear exhaust pipe No.1 support bracket requires two bolts with 33 Nm (337 kgf-cm, 24 ft.lbf) torque before installing it so it faces the proper orientation. For installation of the front exhaust pipe No.1 support bracket use 2 nuts which must receive torque to 33 Nm (337 kgf-cm, 24 ft.lbf). Install the heated oxygen sensor (bank 1 sensor 2) to the front exhaust pipe assembly while torquing it to 44 Nm (449 kgf-cm, 32 ft.lbf) and connect its connector. Use new gaskets for installing the front exhaust pipe assembly to the center exhaust pipe assembly using 2 bolts and 2 nuts torqued to 56 Nm (571 kgf-cm, 41 ft.lbf) before installing it to the tail exhaust pipe assembly using 2 nuts torqued to the same torque value. Use 2 bolts to mount the exhaust pipe damper and torque them to 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft.lbf), mind the correct orientation, then join the floor panel brace rear section through 2 bolts at 19.5 Nm (199 kgf-cm, 14 ft.lbf). A thorough inspection for exhaust gas leaks should be performed before applying additional tightening to problematic areas while replacing broken components when necessary.
