• Q: How to replace the adjustable exhaust hanger on the left side on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Starting to replace the adjustable Exhaust Hanger on the left side requires vehicle elevation and removal of the left rear tire assembly followed by left rear inner wheelwell housing and rear fascia. You should place a suitable jack underneath the left exhaust Tail Pipe before removing the Tail Pipe insulator. Mark the location of the frame where the Exhaust Hanger bracket lies before using a grinder to melt the rivets connecting the Exhaust Hanger to the frame. Start by gently separating the Exhaust Hanger from its frame position then strike the rivet stems gently inside the frame with either a hammer or punch. After drilling holes into the framework use a 7/16 drill bit. First, place a paper against the scribe marks on the frame to locate holes which are transferred and marked. Then position the paper straight on the new Exhaust Hanger without rotation to mark hole locations. Administer a drill operation on the Exhaust Hanger holes using a 7/16 drill bit. The new Exhaust Hanger can get attached to the frame structure with the supplied hardware and require nut and bolt tightening to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Put on the Tail Pipe insulator before removing the support from the left exhaust Tail Pipe to reinstall the rear fascia and left rear inner wheelwell housing and left rear tire assembly. Lower the vehicle by adjusting the Exhaust Hanger according to requirements.
