2007 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the left exhaust manifold on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: One should begin the left Exhaust Manifold replacement procedure by unbolting the exhaust crossover pipe from its three nuts on the Exhaust Manifold followed by removing the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe. Start by removing both bolts that secure the Exhaust Manifold heat shield. After that detach the heat shield itself. You must first remove Exhaust Manifold nuts before taking out the Exhaust Manifold together with its Exhaust Manifold Gasket. Begin cleaning the Exhaust Manifold sealing surfaces and the Cylinder Head surfaces only if necessary removal of the Exhaust Manifold studs occurs. The procedure requires reinstating stud installation when they were originally removed followed by tightening them to 18 n.m (13 lb ft). Install the Exhaust Manifold Gasket together with the Exhaust Manifold by applying tractor used Exhaust Manifold nuts with a tightening torque of 16 n.m (12 lb ft). Place the Exhaust Manifold heat shield and fasten its heat shield bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). To complete the repair install both the egr pipe as well as the three nuts which secure the exhaust crossover pipe to the left Exhaust Manifold.
