  Q: How to replace the right side exhaust manifold on Chevrolet Traverse?

  A: One must begin Exhaust Manifold replacement by removing the Catalytic Converter along with the Exhaust Manifold heat shield. The bolts must be taken out from the Exhaust Manifold before it and its gasket can be removed together. The gasket needs to be discarded because reuse is not advised. The installation process starts by mounting one Exhaust Manifold bolt onto the Exhaust Manifold before you set a new Exhaust Manifold gasket on the Cylinder Head for bolting. Secure both Catalytic Converter and Cylinder Head with the Exhaust Manifold and its gasket while applying 20 nm (15 lb ft) torque to Exhaust Manifold bolts. The final steps involve replacing both the Exhaust Manifold heat shield and Catalytic Converter into their original positions.

  Q: How to replace the steering linkage outer tie rod on Chevrolet Traverse?

  A: The steering linkage outer Tie Rod replacement starts with removing both front tire and wheel assembly components. The first task is to take off the steering linkage outer Tie Rod nut then loosen the steering linkage inner Tie Rod nut. The j-24319-b (Steering Linkage and Tie Rod Puller) for buick, gmc, and chevrolet and the sa91100c (Tie Rod Separator) for saturn can replace pickle fork and wedge type tools in disassembling the ball stud to prevent damage to the seal or bushing. The technician will detach the outer Tie Rod from the inner Tie Rod while recording the total rotations for later reinstall. Installation of the new outer Tie Rod will succeed if the measured rotation count during removal is used without tightening the inner Tie Rod nut. The outer Tie Rod needs to connect to the Steering Knuckle but quality check the outer Tie Rod nut and stud threads to assess their corrosion level; change any rusted components. After installing the outer Tie Rod nut, apply torque to the stud until it achieves 2 nm (18 lb in) of torque before it reaches its seating point. Then check if the nut passes this requirement, consider replacing it with a new one. Tighten the outer Tie Rod nut to 30 nm (22 lb ft) before continuing to torque it by an additional 120 degrees. Make sure 2.5 to 4.5 threads extend from the nut nylon. After attaching the front wheel and tire put on the toe measurement then adjust this front steering element before tightening the inner Tie Rod nut to 75 nm (55 lb ft).
