How to Remove the Exhaust Manifold on Nissan Datsun

Nissan Datsun was a joint venture between the two popular car companies. Together they produced some of the most fuel efficient and popular vehicles on the road. The exhaust manifold on a Nissan Datsun directs exhaust gases out of the engine and through the tailpipe. If you ever need to replace or want to upgrade your manifold to a high-flow model, remove the old one first.

Instructions

    1

    Open the hood of your Nissan Datsun and remove the air cleaner assembly. There are several screw bolts holding the assembly in place. You can use either a socket wrench or a screw to remove these types of bolts.

    2

    Locate the exhaust pipe. This will be located next to the air cleaner assembly you just removed.

    3

    Unbolt the exhaust manifold where it connects to the intake manifold using the socket wrench.

    4

    Unbolt the exhaust manifold where it connects to the exhaust pipe using the socket wrench.

    5

    Pull the temperature sensors out of the manifold.

    6

    Disconnect any miscellaneous hoses from the exhaust manifold. Some models may not be equipped with them. For example, you may need to pull the EGR valve hoses off from the manifold. These hoses help recirculate the exhaust gases, but must be removed to get the manifold out. Usually, these are held in place with hose clamps. To loosen the hose clamp, unscrew the retaining screw bolt (counterclockwise) and the clamp will loosen so that you can pull the hose.

    7

    Loosen the nuts on the manifold connecting it to the engine and lift the manifold out of the engine bay.
