2011, 3.5, 2wd. My catalytic converter on the radiator side of the engine is bad and plan to replace it soon. I know the exhaust manifold is part of the assembly and have a few questions before I dive into this in hopes of eliminating any surprises.
1. Does anyone have a shop manual with the torque specs/torque sequence for the exhaust manifold? Also the torque specs on the bolts connecting the exhaust pipe? I believe those are all the bolts.
2. Is there room to remove the whole assembly without removing the radiator or other accessories?
I'd appreciate any tips or warnings from anyone that has done this job before. There is nothing worse than starting a fix only to get an unwanted surprise. Thanks in advance.
