2009 Ford E-250 Catalytic Converter Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the catalytic converter on a stripped chassis on 2009 Ford E-250?

  A: You should begin work on catalytic converter service and repair of an empty chassis by putting the vehicle into neutral position while hanging it from the hoist. Secure the muffler and tailpipe setup with a safety stand before removing the front muffler and tailpipe assembly and all extension pipe hanger isolators that might be installed. Unfasten the muffler and tailpipe assembly and the extension pipe-to-catalytic converter Torca® clamp but proceed to torque both components to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) when reinstalling. First uninstall the muffler and tailpipe from the vehicle along with the extension pipe if it is part of the catalytic converter. First disconnect the CMS electrical connector followed by removing the exhaust Y-pipe-to-catalytic converter nuts then disposing them before extracting the exhaust Y-pipe-to-catalytic converter support bracket. User must install new nuts by reaching a torque value of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). Take out the catalytic converter from the exhaust Y-pipe and keep its gasket for disposal. Completion of this task begins with reversing the disassembly steps while making certain to correctly install any needed Torca® clamps.
