How to service and repair the catalytic converter on Ford Escort?

Start the service and repair process of the catalytic converter by disconnecting heated oxygen sensors at their wiring harness point to avoid damage. The first step entails disconnecting the HO2S electrical connector before lifting and supporting the vehicle. As the next step disconnect the electrical connector that operates the downstream catalyst monitor sensor (CMS). Transmit the exhaust manifold to remove its nuts while disposing of both gaskets. The muffler inlet pipe requires disconnection without neglecting to remove its nuts and dispose of the gasket. Proceed with crossmember removal after bolting out its fasteners and thereafter removing the crossmember. Drain the three-way catalyst with the bracket bolts then extract it from the system. Check the three-way catalytic converter for breaks, cracks and corrosive damage which might cause exhaust system leaks before installation; get a new converter when needed. For the exhaust conversion the inlet gasket should be replaced between the three-way catalyst and exhaust manifold while the outlet gasket needs replacement between the three-way catalyst and the muffler inlet pipe. Conclusion of the installation process occurs when you follow the uninstall steps in reverse order.
