In four cylinder models, the starting point would be to remove the engine cover of 1.8L models and maybe remove the air filter housing to create ease of access. Disconnect the electrical connectors of the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors that might need to have the coolant expansion tank detached without the removal of the hoses. Take out the oxygen sensors of the catalytic converter and then remove the attaching parts that hold the front exhaust pipe in place on top of the catalytic converter. Lift the car on jackstands, loosen the bolts holding the front exhaust pipe support bracket, and then the three bolts holding the lower catalytic converter flange to the front exhaust pipe, and then take away the catalytic converter and dispose the old flange gaskets. The reverse order of installation should be adopted making sure that new gaskets and self-locking nuts are used. In case of V6 models, that one starts with the cover of the rear engine by taking it off then continue with the left-side catalytic converter by taking off the little cover, remove the engine coolant level sensor and the coolant expansion tank. Reach the oxygen sensor electrical connections, and in the case of right catalytic converter, do the same action, but remove the air filter housing. Take the top nuts holding the converter to the exhaust manifold, lift the vehicle, and take out the front wheel. Disconnect the exhaust system and, on AWD models, proceed to further steps to assist and support the transmission by lowering it. Lastly, unbolster the catalytic converter and replace it with the new one making sure that all the fasteners are tightened. In the case of 3.2L V6 engines, it includes the removal of the rear engine cover, the disconnection of the coolant level sensor on the left engine bank, and the same procedure on both the catalytic converters, making sure that the transmission is properly supported and that the entire assembly of the exhaust pipe is taken off carefully before attaching it.
