Banks Exhaust Brake Installation

1.

As a precaution, disconnect the

ground of the battery (if there is more

than one battery, disconnect both

grounds).

2.

Raise the vehicle and support it

with properly weight rated safety

stands or a commercial hoist. Follow

the manufacturer’s safety precautions.

Take care to support the vehicle to

prevent it from slipping or falling.

Place the transmission in park; set the

parking brake and place blocks behind

the rear wheels.

3.

Remove the front wheels and the

front wheel well splash shields.
If equipped, detach the ABS wire that

is clipped on the passenger side splash

shield before completely removing the

shield to avoid damage to the wire.

4.

Remove the exhaust elbow that

is attached to the turbo outlet by

loosening the V-clamps and slide them

off the lip. Spray with penetrating

lubricant to ease removal.

See Figure 8.

Note: It may be necessary to loosen

or remove the exhaust support from

the transmission to provide extra

clearance.
Push the exhaust pipe to the rear

of the vehicle slightly to allow the

elbow to be removed. Slide the elbow

towards the rear of the vehicle to

allow the alignment pins in the turbo

to come free.
If the elbow doesn’t come lose, then it

may be necessary to break it lose from

the alignment pins. Wear appropriate

eye protection and firmly strike the

elbow with a hammer or light sledge

hammer.
Note: Retain the factory V-clamps for

use later. the alignment pins will have

to be removed or broken lose from the

turbo’s outlet flange. Make sure the

turbo’s outlet flange surface is flat so

that it doesn’t interfere with proper

exhaust sealing.
