Catalyst Shield: Service and Repair

SERVICE/REPLACEMENT
Exhaust shields are not subject to service other than:
- replacing missing or damaged attaching parts such as clamps or screws.
- removing debris that may collect in the shield area. If an exhaust shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, it must be replaced rather than serviced.

The crimped-on catalyst welded shields are to be replaced with clamp on service shields.

REMOVAL and INSTALLATION
1. Remove shield attachments.
2. Remove exhaust shield.
3. To install, reverse removal procedure using new components.
