1. Lower vehicle exhaust - Using an exhaust hanger removal tool, lower muffler by removing (1) rearmost driver side rubber hanger and (1) rearmost passenger side
rubber hanger. Note: Be sure that exhaust is supported before removing rubber hangers. A spray lubricant or soapy water on rubber hangers makes them slide off
metal pins more easily.
2. Trim Heat Shield – Remove (4) screws securing heat shield and trim as shown in Figure 2 (Ford Escape) & Figure 3 (Lincoln Corsair). Return screws and trimming area
to owner. Note: Heat shield can be trimmed without fully removal.
