great video, for me you missed a real important part though, the foot pounds on the bolts...?will it vary by car and location? my guess would be 30-40 ft.ib
More often than not, the section that the donut slides over would be badly pitted from corrosion. In many forums people recommend Ultra-Copper RTV. Though it is labeled as being oxygen-sensor safe, I'm wondering if a safer and more reliable solution would be to filling out the pitting with high temperature steel-epoxy then sanding it down. Some swear by Versachem Crack Sealer, which is ceramic based, for this task.
Once the nut starts to come off you don't want to stop until you get all the way to the end. The heat generated by the friction helps the nut remove itself.

To add some clarity....as you didn't show it....the final installation should have the springs be NOT fully compressed...there should be a little air-space between each coil of the coil spring.
It was a stupid video, they didn't even show how to fit the gasket on or how pipes fit together, PLUS, no washers, bolts too short, no anti-seize compound, NOT suppose to use silicone on exhaust connections because it destroys O2 sensors and to top it off he uses Hardware Hank cheap junk hardware that will break in two weeks.
In many exhaust systems the flex Donut gasket connection is BEFORE the catalytic converter, making it BEFORE the downstream 02 sensor, so you can definitely damage your 02 sensor if you glob the silicone right before the sensor.
@@icur Some silicone compounds, like Ultra Copper, say "oxygen sensor safe" on the packaging. I would think that they would be safe for such use as in the video.

why in the world is it so difficult to find how much you are supposed to tighten the spring bolts? I'm. assuming bottoming them out is completely redundant
I have a Corolla with a rusty exhaust donut but isn't too loud. I've ordered a new exhaust donuts and bolts and will get changed next year. I think Japanese cars only use them.
Great video. I like the amount of detail that you provide. I have an exhaust leak for my 2015 chevy silverado. Do you have any pointers or advice that I would find helpful or useful before I get underneath there?
I discovered my squeaking noise coming from underneath is at this point. Sprayed some silicone grease on it and it went away. But returned days later since the heat from the exhaust pipe would dry that up of course. I've checked and the bolts are as tight as you can get them. Although I'm not hearing any exhaust leaks. Would replacing the exhaust ring solve the problem anyway?
Yeah sooo easy, any one could clearly torque on exhaust bolts like that and break the rust weld... I should just like my Granny change my exhaust if it's that easy.
I've been working on my 74 f100 360 and I've worked on old cars/ trucks all my life and never had as much trouble as this one. Even smashed my finger almost off. Can't seem to get it on
Smashed your finger almost off LMAO has me cracking up in bed right now. Just thinking how many times a smashed my shit while wrenching and thinking it was gonna die and fall off....
Update luckily it wasn't rusted I live in Arizona so.. On a Mazda six second GEN it's a defect that it can cause squeaking they actually have a grease on the donut to stop it so when that stuff wears off it will Make squeaking noises again .. Pretty ridiculously stupid design what do you want from Ford... I'm about to replace it again it's been three years it's doing the same noise again
Hi, i had it on my montero and figure it out its getting a noise when the engine got to aircon in full. Is it with Bolt Spring not enough to that make noise?
I think this is what I need for my 97 legacy outback, the spring bolts are completely rusted and I see no springs... the flange is wide open and It’s leaking. Everything is rusted and I think the donut deteriorated or something I don’t see that either lol it’s terrible
guess you didnt really listen. yes, they are there for a reason. you could get by temporarily BUT you will break it eventually without the spring loaded bolts.

Bravo! This video accurately depicts what it feels like when you inhale too much engine exhaust. Genius!
it was a good enough video, but the looping was making my brain glitch
Great video and thanks for taking the extra time to show how to carefully take off the existing rusty bolts so not to break them!
I learned alot. And keep in mind, don't leave excessive lube on your nuts. Your tool cold slip off. Lol.
im waaaayy to high for that loop....
habitat this is the opposite of where you should be posting that stuff
That threw me off 😂
damn.iThought iWas the only one high watching this shit
im tripping
Dude wayy to high
Those are the easiest exhaust bolts ive ever seen to come off lol
Yeah, this a**hole is acting as if he can outsmart the removal of every rusty fastener.
Yeah, as soon as I saw that first nut loosen I knew this video was from the Land of Make Believe. :-)
I think it was the 13 times that he oiled his nuts.
Hehe once I broke mine loose they came off with my fingers on my 96 outback, of course it has plenty of time release auto chassis lube

informative video, this one is the only one i found that shows how to remove the old gasket from the pipe. Thank you
Same way you remove it you can install it back
You should wipe that oil off. You don't want the tool...to slip on the nut. Thanks - Lumpy
God forbid the factory would use stainless hardware in this high corrosion environment.

The silicone is down stream from the 02...the way the exhaust flows, it shouldn't bother it
In many exhaust systems the flex Donut gasket connection is BEFORE the catalytic converter, making it BEFORE the downstream 02 sensor, so you can definitely damage your 02 sensor if you glob the silicone right before the sensor.
You are too critical.......good zooming in and out so you see the converter and bolts up close. I just paid $160 for the job.

Excellent for DIYers. Ignore the comments from shops who want to charge you for an entire new exhaust system when all you need is a simple gasket.
Yes it's very cheap amzn.to/2SVrI2u
Thanks you I will tackling this on my mitsubishi outlander on the weekend was vary informative.
Am I crazy or is he saying stuff like 3 times
Great work and outstanding vocabulary, Sir! Looking forward to taking a stab at this project. Thanks for the excellent instructions.
Amused. I’ve literally heard the word “nut” more times in this video than I have in the last month alone. Lemme tell you. That’s an achievement.
Somebody give Bob a 🍻 (beer)! 👍🏾
Great instructional video. Thank you, I almost paid $50 for some one to to replace it. I just bought the donut gasket for $24 and did it myself
Hm, wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ordering one for just above $1. Seen it around $2 in many places online.

what's with the looping?
nut
What infant did the film editing for this?
Great video though, besides the loops and zooming✊🏾

I have an exhaust leak for my 2015 chevy silverado. Do you have any pointers or advice that I would find helpful or useful before I get underneath there?
I was really hoping at the very end they would show the beginning one more time...
if the flange is bad or loose will the engine sound louder?
I've got some high temp gasket maker. Could I use that instead of silicone?
Yes, it's just to hold it in place.
Feel like I'm watching the Groundhog Day movie.

First step is safety glasses whenever using pen oil and rust.
And whenever you're under a vehicle, looking up.
do you have a video for Lexus rx350 front Y exhaust pipe gasket replacement?
perhaps use some anti-seize as well
Yeah sooo easy, any one could clearly torque on exhaust bolts like that and break the rust weld...
I should just like my Granny change my exhaust if it's that easy.
Right? I have never in my life had an exhaust bolt/nut break loose that easily... NEVER
You don't see that every day, really really lucky and the bolt and nut are not that rusted to start with !
Thanks for the info... its almost like i'd seen some of this before :)
Did he use Hi-temp anti-seize? You should.
Does the heat help remove the nut?
That was incredible 😂
Do you absolutely need power tools for this or can I break the gasket off without an air hammer and loosen the bolts without a powered driver?
How much would it cost for a mechanic to replace front pipe gasket and bolts?(very rusty)
a mechanic will soak you for 150 to install new gasket and bolts
Is this car an Integra? I ask cause this is the job I gotta do. The pipe is down the center not split like a v8
It’s 2022! Do they make a bolt and nut that can handle the high heat and won’t rust
My head felt like I was gltiching on the repeating lines LOL
Thanks for the great advice.
soak them overnight with p.b. blaster or a oil covered rag! thanks for the vid!
You mean the new gasket or the stuck bolts?
@@TheBlacktom the bolts ,.....but fuck it soak everything!

excelent work, very good teaching
I have heard that silicone will poison the sensors.
Can you add somewhere in your videos what car you are working on
Hi, i had it on my montero and figure it out its getting a noise when the engine got to aircon in full. Is it with Bolt Spring not enough to that make noise?
Everything I have read,says don't use any type of silicone on the exhaust side of the system. It will ruin your convertor.
But then the customer won't bring the car back for a new converter and the mechanic will miss out on the extra profit.
General rule is not to use anything in front of the cat (s) unless it`s approved for the purpose.
Is that what's known as exhaust manifold to pipe gasket?
I think this is what I need for my 97 legacy outback, the spring bolts are completely rusted and I see no springs... the flange is wide open and It’s leaking. Everything is rusted and I think the donut deteriorated or something I don’t see that either lol it’s terrible
I NEED that wrench!!!
Can I install the new gasket without requiring silicone or adhesive? Thanks.
Actually, If you have an O2 sensor after the flange, you should not use any silicone stuff, as it will deteriorate your cat and/or O2 sensor.
Where do I get those spring bolts ?
This reminds me of a Neature Walk video.
Great video, just what I needed!
Very helpful video, thank you!
A proper mechanic would use a 6 point wrench to avoid it slipping
seems to be a judgement call on how rusty the fastener is - in this scenario, yeah 6 pt would seem to be better choice. As well as eye protection.

Yeah, especially for him and his OCD removal instructions.

damn the heat resistant silicon thats the key, i cussed so much with mine moving and dropping out!! thanks
very, very good video. thnx
i uh
i feel like im being slapped around like a cat toy while watching this
The spring on my bolts never compress all the way what am I doing wrong
Nothing....they shouldn't compress all the way, .....that's why they are there.
