It is relatively easy to replace an exhaust gasket and requires only the use of screw drivers, a socket set or a wrench set depending on the device being service. Replacement components such as sockets or screws may also be required during this repair. The gasket surfaces should be cleaned and fully dried before being installed between the carburetor and the exhaust tube.
