How to Remove the Catalytic Converter in a 1993 Ford Bronco

Catalytic converters are designed to capture particulates from the exhaust of your car or truck and filter them out so that your vehicle doesnt have poor emissions. Over time, they can go out and will need to be replaced, otherwise you wont pass your local emissions tests. Unfortunately, there isnt a bolt-in replacement for a 1993 Bronco, and you have to remove the old one by cutting it out, then welding in a new one. Cutting out the old one can be done at home with the right tools.

Instructions

    1

    Crawl underneath the SUV and locate the catalytic converter. Its shaped like a square with rounded corners, and is around the door area underneath the cab.

    2

    Place the hearing protection, eye protection and gloves on. Then place the metal reciprocating saw blade in the end of the reciprocating saw. Cut the exhaust tubing approximately 2 inches from the end of the rear facing portion of the catalytic converter using the reciprocating saw.

    3

    Cut the forward facing portion of the exhaust, about 2 inches in front of the catalytic converter using the reciprocating saw. When youre just about to finish the cut, move out of the way so that youre not underneath the converter, as it will fall to the ground.
