Replacing a catalytic converter on a 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer typically takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the mechanic's experience and the vehicle's condition. The process involves lifting the vehicle, removing the old converter, and installing the new one, which may require additional time if there are rusted or difficult-to-remove bolts.
