How to Service the Tail Pipe and Muffler on Ford Flex?

The first step to service the muffler and tailpipe involves hoisting the vehicle in the neutral gear. To install or uninstall the muffler and tailpipe a suitable jackstand should hold them before releasing the Torca® clamp nut which needs to be tightened to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft) final torque value. Soapy water serves to release the three isolators without tearing so you can carefully detach the muffler from the tailpipe unit. A mechanic's wire should support the intermediate pipe to avoid flexible pipe damage. Reinstallation procedure starts with reverting the removal steps and using new gaskets while tightening nuts to specification and checking all isolators for damage prior to replacement. After starting the engine run the car to verify there are no exhaust leaks.
