2. We process the threaded connections of the exhaust manifold with a penetrating lubricant.
3. Remove the exhaust pipe muffler (see "Downpipe engine 2112 (1,5i 16v) - removal and installation").
4. socket wrench by 13 mm unscrew the three nuts securing the protective screen and remove the protective screen.
5. socket wrench by 13 mm unscrew the two nuts securing the coolant pump inlet pipe bracket and remove the bracket (see below, "Engine exhaust manifold 21124 (1,6i 16v) - removal and installation, gasket replacement").
6. socket wrench by 13 mm unscrew the eight nuts securing the exhaust manifold and remove the manifold from the studs (see below, "Engine exhaust manifold 21124 (1,6i 16v) - removal and installation, gasket replacement").
7. Remove the manifold gasket from the studs (see below, "Engine exhaust manifold 21124 (1,6i 16v) - removal and installation, gasket replacement").
Replace the manifold gasket with a new one. Install the exhaust manifold in reverse order. Tightening torque of manifold mounting nuts 24.5-25.8 Nm (2.5-2.6 kgf·m).
