1. | NOTE Drilling material may cause damage to catalyst system if proper precaution IS NOT taken to prevent debris from entering exhaust system. The use of mechanical fingers, coat hanger or welding rod tied to shop rag will ease insertion and removal of rag. | |||||||
2. | Set drill press spindle speed to SLOWEST setting. | |||||||
3. | Refer to Table 1. Install piloted drill bit (1) into drill press chuck. | |||||||
4. | See Figure 1. With the drill press NOT running: a. Position exhaust pipe (3) into drill press vise (2). b. Lower drill press chuck and position piloted drill bit (1) into exhaust pipe bung. NOTE Pilot tip of drill bit must be completely square and fully-inserted into bung. c. Clamp down drill press vise to exhaust pipe. d. Raise and lower drill press chuck to check for drill pattern. |

5. | With the drill press running: a. Apply cutting fluid to the drill bit and hole as necessary. b. Drill through oxygen sensor bung. | |||||||
6. | Repeat procedure for other oxygen sensor bung. | |||||||
7. | Wipe off excessive drilling debris. Leave shop rags in exhaust pipe. |
1. | See Figure 2. Assemble tap to tap handle: a. Insert tap (3) into tap handle (1). b. Secure tap with set screw (4) of tap handle. Ensure tap is oriented so that the set screw engages the flat of the tap. c. Apply grease (2) to end of tap. |

4. | NOTE Apply cutting fluid to tap and hole as necessary while tapping. | |||||||||
5. | Continue to turn tap clockwise until tap has bottomed out, as indicated by increased resistance. Do NOT force tap. | |||||||||
6. | Back tap out by turning tap counterclockwise, 1 - 2 turns, then blow out debris using low-pressure compressed air. | |||||||||
7. | Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until threads have been completely cut into oxygen sensor bung. | |||||||||
8. | Turn tap counterclockwise and remove tap. | |||||||||
9. | Blow off debris using low-pressure compressed air and remove exhaust pipe from bench vise. | |||||||||
10. | NOTE Tip end of exhaust pipe toward the ground when removing shop rags. This will assure cutting material debris will not fall into exhaust system. | |||||||||
11. | Clean off cutting fluid and grease: a. Position exhaust so fluid runs out of pipe. b. Use PJ1® cleaner or equivalent to remove all traces of contaminants from thread area. |
