How to Service and Repair the Exhaust Heat Shield on Ford Explorer?

Start by disconnecting the battery cable then raising the vehicle for service and repair operations of the heat shield. Check the catalytic converter together with the muffler for both loose heat shields and missing shield parts. Inside the heat shield repair process both FOTZ-5A231-A or W705949-S300 worm clamps need to be utilized for loose shield attachments followed by cutting away the excess worm clamp ear pieces. The absence of heat shields calls for new heat shield installation but if new heat shields cannot be obtained a new catalytic converter replacement becomes necessary. Bring down the car after completing the battery cable reconnection.
