Cause of growling noise when accelerating? - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you don't have a lift, you will just need a standard ratchet set and a set of long extensions. Princess Auto has some decent long extensions. It is not a hard job (well, harder than changing oil, but easier than a brake job), but you will want to jack the car up as high as you reasonably can on all four corners so you fit underneath it. I did mine outdoors on the driveway. Just be very careful to check the car is stable when the entire car is jacked up like this and don't get crazy banging on stuff, you don't want the car to slip!

With the extension you can get access. It should take 30 minutes or so unless the gasket is really stuck. You may want a breaker bar to get things moving the at first. :) To be honest, it's mostly frustrating because you can get your hands on the bolts and you figure that would mean you can get a wrench in there, but they just barely overlap the crossmember so no dice.

As far as that diagram goes, the gasket we're talking about here is #6.

LOL here's a new thread on it again:

Buy the bolt/spring kit with the gasket (#7 and #8 on your diagram x 2). You'll be happy you did. Exhaust parts turn to dust in no time.
