You need to unclamp the "C" spring clamps from the manifold. This requires a special tool to expand the clamp. The clamp and gasket kit is around $100.
AnswerNo "special" tool is needed; simply visit your local Ace hardware or auto parts store and buy two exhaust clamps: Simple, all you really need to do is design a wedge that will spread the clamp wide enough to fit over and in place, then you bang the wedge out. OR First, use a jack to hold the exhaust pipe in place, put the top part of the C clamp on first then pull down with a chain or rope. Drivers side clamp on first cause its easy to get the first clamp on. As for the passenger side clamp, u gonna need some MUSCLE.
Do the same as the first, but your gonna need something stiffter than a chain, like a flat bar with a point on it that'll fit through the hole.

Where is the catalytic converter on a 1994 Honda Accord and how do you change it?
The catalytic converter will be underneath the car in the exhaust system directly after the pipe that connects the header (exhaust manifold (connects engine to the rest of the exhaust)) to the Cat (catalytic converter). there will also be a resonator that is closer to the muffler end of the exhaust. The cat has an O2 sensor in it so you'll know if you get the right one.
What and where is a catalytic converter on a car?
It is part of the exhaust system. It can be anywhere between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. It is usually half way between the manifold and the muffler. Some cars have two. The purpose of the converter is to change the carbon monoxide in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas and sulfur dioxide is not.

Find where the exhaust bolts up to the motor aka the exhaust manifold and follow it about a foot towards the back of the carand you'll see a stud sensor with an electrical connector threaded into the exhaust right before the catalytic converter on both sides of the exhaust and one right after the catalytic converter on each side ,so 4 in total.Hope this Helps
Where is the oxygen sensor on a 2000 Buick regal ls located?
There are two sensors. One before the catalytic converter and one after. The first is at the back of the engine block on the manifold. It screws into the manifold and takes a special socket to remove (costs about $10). The second is between the converter and the muffler under the car. Its on top of the exhaust pipe and nearly impossible to change unless you take apart your exhaust system There are two sensors. One before the catalytic converter and one after.

The O2 sensors are located on the exhaust of the vehicle. The first O2 sensor will be located beyond the manifold and before the catalytic converter, then there is typically one or more beyond the catalytic converter. to change them you have to unplug the wire at the connecter (generally about 6" from sensor) then simply unscrew them with a wrench out of the exhaust pipe. they may come out hard from repeatedly being heated and cooled.

The catalytic converter is a sealed unit and must be replaced completely. A good mechanic or a shop that specializes in exhaust systems can do the job. If the entire exhaust pipe doesn't need replacing, the converter itself can be cut out of the existing exhaust pipe and a new one fitted in.
