HI, this guide will help you with this replacement.
Step1
Lift your jeep. Unfortunately, the catalytic converter
sits about midway down the length of your jeep, so lifting one end or
the other will not do. Ramps are your best bet to get you within reach
of the parts when working from home. Luckily, this is usually the
hardest part of this repair.
Step2
Be patient with the bolts, as they are often hard to remove due to size
and awkward placement. You may have to drill or saw bolts to remove
them. With this in mind, you should pick up new bolts, nuts and seals
for your replacement project.
Step3
Buy a catalytic converter specific to your jeep to avoid extra work. A
generic part must be welded into the jeep, while a vehicle-specific
model comes pre-welded to the proper pipes for easy bolt-on
installation.
Step4
Remove the 02 sensor (with an O2 wrench) before unbolting the catalytic
converter. Then, you should remove the pipe connecting the sensor to
the converter. Depending on your exhaust system, you may have to remove
more pipes before you unbolt the converter from the muffler.
Step5
Replace the old catalytic converter with a new one. This should be the
easy part, as you simply bolt the new part in place.
Step6
Reattach the exhaust pipes
and 02 sensor, and the basic job is done. Make sure you replace any
cracked or rusty pipes while you have the exhaust system apart.
Please rate and god bless:)
