2002 Cadillac Seville Exhaust Hanger Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the exhaust hangers on 2002 Cadillac Seville?

  A: You must first lift the vehicle while providing support before changing its exhaust hangers. The bolt that joins the center exhaust hanger to the rear suspension support bracket must be unfastened. Put a suitable lubricant on the exhaust pipe hanger rod before detaching the hanger from the rod by pulling it straight outward. Start by removing the nut which attaches the rear exhaust hanger to its bracket and adding lubrication to the tail pipe hanger rod. Finally, pull the rear exhaust hanger out from the rod to free it. Apply a soapy solution to the tail pipe hanger rod and the inner diameter of the rear exhaust hanger after which you can press the rear exhaust hanger over the tail pipe hanger rod before positioning it correctly to the rear exhaust hanger bracket. The rear exhaust hanger requires installation with a 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) torque when fixed to the rear exhaust hanger bracket. A soapy solution should be applied to the exhaust pipe hanger rod along with the inner diameter of the center exhaust hanger before inserting the hanger over the rod. Secure the center exhaust hanger to the rear suspension support bracket with the bolt and tighten it to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) while the vehicle is still elevated.
