Hi everyone GarageKing here and I found a great
thing for us to do, an exhaust hack we're going to try to fix this exhaust leak
take a look here and what I found not the easiest thing but let's get up here
we see some exhaust coming and right around here where there's the o2 sensors
we have found a leak, and our leak is
right in there so it's cracked and actually there you go you can see it let
me see if I can zoom in there you go so what we're gonna try to do is we're
going to try to weld this up what we have to do is take off this heat shield
because if we weld from the top here we're not gonna get underneath where the
cracking is so we're gonna have to take off this heat shield now I'm on the
other side of the heat shield and you can see there's these little bolts with
nuts and actually there you can see I'm gonna try to zoom in there you go, you
can tell the nut part is totally rusted off so there's no way we're gonna be
able to get a wrench on that and turn it so what we're gonna have to do
unfortunately we're gonna have to cut them off that's fine because we're
trying to fix the exhaust and then what we're gonna do is we're just gonna use
regular clamps and we're gonna clamp them back on so let's cut these suckers
off okay so we're gonna cut the clamps off like we said make sure you're
wearing hearing protection and also make sure that you're wearing eye protection
because you don't want to be get something in the eye and get yourself
hurt
okay so here's the exhaust piece right there you can see we've taken the heat
shield out it's quite rusted that's where we can see it's all rusted out
right there there's where it's all rusted out so we
can actually I don't know if we can look here or see holes but it's there we go
and you can actually see a hole through the other side I'm almost wondering if
it might be better to put a muffler bandage on it you can buy those little
bandages and then we can put the bandage on it wrap it around and then clamp it
because it seems it gets pretty rusty and it's actually gonna fall off and you
can't really well to rust so I think we may have a problem here but I'm not a
hundred percent sure yet I might even get some tin wrap it around
and weld some tin around it not sure I'm still thinking guys, I'm still thinking
you can see we've tried welding it you can see the welding it just wouldn't
stick there's too much rust you can't weld rust, I thought maybe there's
enough steel in there but anyway it wouldn't work and then a worse thing!!!
guys worse thing, or folks as you can see this is just terrible so I guess the
heat what it did, is it blew a little bit of a hole in there so thinking about it
so I just ran out, and I got these so we're gonna try them and we're
gonna just see if it works so we got some goop stuff we're gonna paste on and
then we're gonna wrap them, so let's see if this works
ooh what was that!!!! maybe do we need to kneed this thing first
I don't think so didn't say that anywhere but I guess it had some oil
near the top, yeah I guess we learned that right......
okay so we got our heat gun so let's just heat it up a bit okay so that's
good feels yeah feels definitely warm but I'm afraid we stick a lot of this
kind of rusty powder so I'm just gonna get some Emery cloth to clean that.
We got a little bit of Emery cloth just so we can kind of clean the rust away
make sure you're wearing some type of respirator cuz you can see all that crap
falling down put the patch on we've heated it with a gun kind of changed
colors a bit and it's hard and now what we're gonna do is just put the red the
red wrap on okay so we're gonna put the bandage on here's what the bandage looks
like now you have to pull the backing off it there's actually a backing on on
both sides on this spider patch stuff so yeah that's what it is anyway what I'm
using, I don't know, just whatever your local hardware store sells, most of them have
something you got to pull off the back so you can see we can pull it and it's
actually it comes off both sides so there you go there you have it
so I'm pulling it apart so this is one side and then this comes off the other
side and then the clear stuff is what actually goes on on the car that's
that's what stays on the car so clear stuff stays on the car remember we're
just gonna pull it like this there we go
yeah cuz this is really really sticky I can make you feel that it's really
sticky so we want to get it through here
and then the other side is just the same as a side we'll do our wrapping okay and
now that we got this we can re-clamp
you know we've got to do the other side so what we're gonna do is got to grab
the heat shields we just kind of put whatever insulation was in there just
kind of tuck it back I suppose no exhaust leak at all either of them
here we go but it's actually kind of sucking itself on a bit there so that's
good but ya know exhaust leak so all fixed up
