How To Change a Toyota Paseos Exhaust

Thursday, February 27, 2014 | Labels: , , , , , , | |

The exhaust system in a Toyota Paseo is responsible for carrying the exhaust fumes from the engine to the back of the vehicle. Once fuel has been burned in the engine, it is expelled through the exhaust manifold and into the exhaust system. Over time, the exhaust system will fail primarily due to either rust or corrosion. However, if the exhaust system in your Paseo has been damaged in any way, its time to change it.

Instructions

    1

    Jack up the front of the Toyota Paseo using the front jack point located behind the radiator, and place the jack stands underneath the front pinch welds located on either side of the vehicle.

    2

    Jack up the rear of the vehicle using the rear jack point near the trunk area and place jack stands underneath the rear pinch welds located on either side of the vehicle.

    3

    Loosen and remove the O2 sensor located in the exhaust piping near the catalytic converter. Unplug the electrical wire that is connected to the O2 sensor and then use the O2 sensor removal tool (a socket extension) to turn the O2 sensor counterclockwise.

    4

    Place a jack stand near the catalytic converter to support the exhaust piping. Place another jack stand under the exhaust piping near the rear of the vehicle for additional support.

    5

    Unbolt the exhaust piping from the exhaust manifold.

    6

    Slide the exhaust piping off the rubber hangers that are attached to the body of the vehicle. Since you are replacing the entire exhaust, you dont need to unbolt any of the intermediate pieces.

    7

    Install the new exhaust system. Installation is the reverse of removal.
