Jeep Cherokee Catalytic Converter Removal

Removing the catalytic converter from the exhaust system of your Jeep Cherokee takes just a few minutes and requires minimal tools. Replacement converters are expensive so you may want to consider purchasing an aftermarket unit instead of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) one as a cost savings measure. Replacement converters are available from your local Jeep dealership or most auto parts stores.

Instructions

    1

    Raise the front of the Jeep Cherokee off the ground with a jack then position a set of jack stands under the front suspension to support it. Slide under the passengers side of the Jeep and locate the converter in the exhaust. The converter sits near the center of the Jeep, between the frame rails.

    2

    Locate the rear mounting flange between the catalytic converter and the muffler. Remove the nuts from the retaining bolts with a wrench then remove the bolts from the flange. Separate the muffler from the converter and push the muffler aside.

    3

    Remove the nuts from the retaining bolts that secure the mounting flange at the front of the converter with a wrench. Remove the bolts from the mounting flange and set them aside.

    4

    Separate the converter from the front exhaust pipe. Lower the converter and slide it out from under the Jeep.
