OEM 2001 GMC Safari Exhaust Manifold

2001 GMC Safari Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the right exhaust manifold on 2001 GMC Safari?

  A: The first step for right Exhaust Manifold replacement involves lifting the vehicle and removing both the right front tire and then the right fender wheelhouse extension. The first step should be separating the Spark Plug Wires from the spark plugs before taking out the Catalytic Converter assembly. Remove the Exhaust Manifold through the wheelhouse by accessing bolts and removing it with Exhaust Manifold gaskets and Spark Plug wire shields from the engine compartment. Clean all gasket surfaces thoroughly. The installation process requires you to assemble the new gasket components with Spark Plug wire shields and bolts onto the Exhaust Manifold while the Exhaust Manifold bolts should rest on the tab features of the new Exhaust Manifold gaskets. Preferably first install the Exhaust Manifold followed by addition of the Catalytic Converter assembly before reattaching Spark Plug Wires. Put back the fender wheelhouse extension and front tire while you lower the vehicle.
