Note: It may be necessary to remove the catalytic converter to reposition the clamp if the clamp has seized due to heat or corrosion.
- If the clamp is misaligned (2) OR you can smell diesel exhaust, reposition the clamp if it is undamaged. If the clamp is damaged, replace the clamp. Refer to Catalytic Converter Removal in SI.
