Exhaust Hose Replacement - HELP

[MrChuckFL]

Any tips for replacing the exhaust hose on a AQ131? I have taken off the clamps, but the gap between the mainfold and the pipe (riser?) attached to the drive is awfuly small. Is there something else that has to be removed?

Remove the exhaust manifold.

I am going to guess that it's the gap between the riser and the pipe that is small. You probably realized it is too small for both the old hose to be slid off and the new one to be slid on. I am not familiar enough with your engine, so you will probably get a better response, but in my own you have to either remove the riser or loosen/remove the pipes in order to replace that piece of hose. I have done it both ways, and it's easier to leave the riser in place, esp. with regards to putting the new piece of hose on. My exhaust has to nearly be disassembled to remove that piece of hose (4"D, ~10" long).

PS. It is no fun getting the new one over the riser, unless you can find the hose with no wire in it.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I figured that removing the manifold was the answer.

Not the one I wanted to hear.

I was hoping for something easier.

Guess it is time to get out the WD40 and pray the bolts don't break.

Mr Chuck - I have the same engine and was looking to see if there were aftermarket exhaust hoses to see what the price difference was. I never did find anything. The Volvo part you mentioned is around $65 at the local dealers here. I'll prob just buy the Volvo one, but did you find anything else?
