Silencer ring removal. How Easy?

[TexasDieselBoy]

Ok guys I have a question about removing the silencer ring in my 05'. How hard is it to remove and is there any special tools or precautions I should take. If anyone could give me quick instructions on how to do it, that would be outstanding.

This is for a 2nd Gen truck, Should be the same in a 3rd Gen.



1, Remove the tube from the Airfilter to the Turbo inlet. 2, Looking in the Turbo inlet there is a black Snap ring, Remove it by prying it toward the center and outward, with a small common screw driver and/or awl. It should peel out in a circular orbit. 3, The Silencer Ring should then fall out. If not then get under the inside edge with an awl or a hook scribe and pull it out. 4, Reinstall the air tube.
