Catalyst Shield: Service and Repair


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

Catalyst Heat Shields:




- Attach two band clamps to the catalytic converter or muffler as shown. Tighten to 7 N.m (60 in lb).
- Align the clamp to secure the heat shield to the muffler or catalytic converter. Tighten the clamp to no more than 7 N.m (60 in lb).
- Trim excess "ear" to approximately 25 mm (1 inch).
