Catalyst Shield: Service and Repair: Adjustments






NOTE: The catalytic converter may have two cans. If shields on both cans are loose, four clamps (two for each) will be required.

1. Attach two band clamps (Part No. 383735-S) to the catalytic converter or muffler. Tighten to 7 Nm (60 lb in).

2. Align the clamp to secure the heat shield to the muffler or converter. Tighten the clamp to no more than 7 Nm (60 lb in).

3. Trim excess "ear" to approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
