  Q: How to Service the Tail Pipe and Muffler on Lincoln Town Car?

  A:

  Before servicing the muffler and tailpipe power must be disconnected from the Air Suspension to eliminate unexpected events involving air springs because vehicle shifts during operations could result in serious injury. Place the neutral-gear vehicle onto a hoist for servicing operations. Starting by removing two nuts, an exhaust damper when present and a clamp uniting exhaust inlet to muffler. Then cut the designated area of the tailpipe before disassembling isolators to remove the tailpipe with the muffler. Vehicle operators should inspect isolators prior to installation to verify their condition and replace them when necessary. Proceed with tailpipe installation alongside its attachment point for the isolator and afterwards install the muffler using its own isolator. All components need to be completely installed before tightening new exhaust fasteners. Alternate tightness of these fasteners to specifications until the flanges show an even draw with a torque of 33 Nm (24 lb-ft). Secure the exhaust inlet pipe through the muffler by installing the clamp and exhaust damper if present along with two nuts that need tightness to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). After completing the process conclude by engaging the air suspension switch.

  Q: How to Remove and Install the Muffler and Tail Pipe Assembly on Lincoln Town Car?

  A:

  Fabrication of the production muffler with tailpipe occurs as one unified piece whereas the service unit requires two components. Start the removal and installment operations while the Air Suspension electrical power remains off to avoid unexpected air spring events that may make the vehicle shift during work. One must first operate the air suspension switch into off mode followed by lifting the vehicle into a stable position. The exhaust cutter requires a suitable tool for cutting the muffler from the tailpipe after removing the clamp. Begin by removing the tailpipe through detaching its insulator and then detach the muffler after removing its insulator. The installation can be finished through execution of the removal steps in the reversed order.
