Catalytic Converter

Removal & Installation
4.0L Engine

Specific to:

Ford Mustang 2009-2010

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Using a jackstand, support the muffler.
3. Loosen the exhaust coupler and disconnect the intermediate pipe from the catalytic converter assembly. Discard the exhaust coupler. To install, tighten to 35 ft. lbs. (48 Nm). Alternately tighten, in 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm) increments.
   
   NOTE

   When repairing the exhaust system or removing exhaust components, disconnect all Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) and Catalyst Monitor Sensor (CMS) at the wiring connectors to prevent damage to the sensors and wiring harnesses.
4. Disconnect the RH and LH Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) electrical connectors.

6. Using a jackstand, support the catalytic converter.
   
   NOTE

   Hand-tighten all the catalytic converter nuts.
7. Remove and discard the 2 RH catalytic converter-to-exhaust manifold nuts. To install, tighten to 35 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
8. Remove and discard the 2 LH catalytic converter-to-exhaust manifold nuts. To install, tighten to 35 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
9. Remove the jackstand and the catalytic converter.
10. Remove and discard the 4 catalytic converter-to-exhaust manifold studs. To install, tighten to 30 ft. lbs. (40 Nm).
    
    NOTE

    Using a Scotch Brite® pad, clean the mating surfaces of the manifold outlet flare and the catalytic converter inlet flare, at the catalytic converter outlet flare and the muffler inlet pipe. Keep foreign materials out of the catalytic converters.
    
    
    
    NOTE

    Using a jackstand, support the catalytic converter near the rear outlet while positioning the converter into place. Align the manifold studs into the pipe flange. Make sure not to damage the studs or mating surfaces.
11. Make sure to correctly align the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold before installing the fasteners. The catalytic converter is correctly positioned when the hanger rods are centered in the isolators.
