Q: How to replace the Exhaust Heat Shield on the LLV (2.9L) on Chevrolet Colorado?
A: A replacement of the Exhaust Manifold heat shield on the llv (2.9L) requires removal of the air cleaner outlet duct and air cleaner assembly first. Before installing m30 replace the transmission filler tube bracket nut which was securing the a.i.r. Adapter and place it to the side. First detach the heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) from the Exhaust Manifold before removing all three heat shield nuts from the Exhaust Manifold and finally pulling off the heat shield. New heat shield installation begins when you place it properly over the Exhaust Manifold before using gm anti-seize p/n 12371386 (Canadian P/N 993128) on the heat shield nuts. Use anti-seize gm p/n 12371386 on the heat shield nuts before installing them then tightening them to 10 nm (89 lb in). Transfer the ho2s to the Exhaust Manifold and replace the transmission filler tube to the a.i.r. Adapter by securing it with the bracket nut maintained at 12.5 nm (111 lb in). The air cleaner assembly and air cleaner outlet duct need to be put back after completing the installation.
Q: How to Replace an Exhaust Heat Shield on Chevrolet Malibu?
A: Before starting the Exhaust Heat Shield replacement process you must detach the exhaust manifold pipe when your car uses a 2.4l engine. The removal process for catalytic converters is part of the 3.5l and 3.6l engine replacement procedure. The first two muffler insulators must be detached from their hangers while the muffler pipe needs support. To remove the heat shield begin by taking out the left frame bolts then the left frame reinforcement before unscrewing the heat shield nuts from their mount. Place the heat shield against the underbody while aligning it with the dash panel before installing and tightening its nuts to 10 nm (89 lb in). Secure the left frame bolts along with the left frame reinforcement by turning them to 100 nm (74 lb ft) followed by an additional 90 degrees using an angle meter j-45059. Set the muffler pipe upright and connect its first two insulators onto the hangers using proper placement. The 3.5l or 3.6l engine model requires the installation of catalytic converters but the 2.4l engine model needs the exhaust manifold pipe.

A: The replacement of the right side Exhaust Manifold heat shield begins by taking out the right wheelhouse liner. You must first remove the Exhaust Manifold heat shield bolts and toss out the heat shield that sits on the Exhaust Manifold. Secure the new heat shield onto the Exhaust Manifold before using heat shield bolts to fasten it properly at 9 nm (80 lb in). The right wheelhouse liner can be installed after all steps have been completed.
