2000 Cadillac Eldorado Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right exhaust manifold on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The right Exhaust Manifold replacement process begins when technicians uninstall the Oxygen Sensor followed by raising and supporting the vehicle. The first step involves unfastening the two nuts maintaining the connection of the air tube with the Exhaust Manifold and the exhaust front pipe. Remove the connections between the real-time dampening sensor links from the lower control arms and the intermediate shaft from the steering gear. A high screw jack supports the rear cross member of the engine cradle before you uninstall its four cradle-to-body bolts to drop the engine cradle's rear section. Proceed with removing the right side Cylinder Head to transaxle brace followed by Exhaust Manifold nuts that need open-end wrench or universal coupling tools. Adults should remove the manifold while throwing away the gasket afterward they ought to clean it and check the Exhaust Manifold. After installing a new manifold gasket over the Cylinder Head studs, fit the manifold securely before tightening its nuts to 25 nm (18 ft lbs.). The right side Cylinder Head requires reinstallation on the transaxle brace where the bolt must be tightened to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.) and the nut must be tightened to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). Secure the engine cradle into position using four bolts that reach 191 nm (141 ft. Lbs.) torque and after that remove the screw jack. Tighten the pinch bolt on the intermediate shaft while it connects to the steering gear with 47 nm torque (35 ft-lbs) then reconnect the real-time dampening sensor links to the lower control arms. Set the exhaust front pipe into position and add a new gasket to the air tube before fastening its two nuts on the Exhaust Manifold while tightening them to 12 nm (106 inch lbs.). End the procedure by reducing the vehicle height before installing the Oxygen Sensor.
