To replace the Catalytic Converter, remove the intake manifold cover, after which you need to remove the connector position assurance (CPA) retainer and the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector clip from the ignition coil bracket, then of course getting the ho2s electrical connector . Next, we remove the bolts on the
Exhaust Manifold heat shield and the heat shield. Then remove the upper Catalytic Converter to the nut on the Exhaust Manifold and raise and support the vehicle. When removing the ho2s, take off the cpa retainer and disconnect the ho2s electrical connector. Support the exhaust system, there out the Catalytic Converter to
Muffler nuts,please do the same to the Catalytic Converter insulators, and the Catalytic Converter lower nut. Reposition the Muffler assembly aff position to remove a Catalytic Converter and a Catalytic Converter Gasket. Clean and inspect the Exhaust Manifold mating surface along with exhaust pipe gasket mating surface. For installation, fit Catalytic Converter Gasket onto the Catalytic Converter, reposition Muffler assembly and install Catalytic Converter. Replace the Catalytic Converter lower nut and tighten to 35 n.m (26 lb ft), replace the Catalytic Converter insulators and replace the Catalytic Converter to Muffler nuts and tighten to 60 n.m (44 lb ft). Remove support from exhaust system, o2s, install retainer cpa. Reduce the vehicle and bring in the upper Catalytic Converter to Exhaust Manifold nut, and tighten up to 35 n.m (26 lb ft). Reinstall the burner manifold heat shield and its screws to a torque of 10 n.m (89 lb in) then the ho2s electrical connector , the cpa retainer , followed by the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) electrical connector clip to the ignition coil bracket attached to the intake manifold cover.
