2009 Scion xB Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the Catalytic Converter sub-assembly on 2009 Scion xB?

  A: The installation starts with placing the No. 2 exhaust manifold heat insulator and tightening two bolts to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). You must install the No. 1 manifold converter insulator which needs 4 bolts torqued to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). The exhaust manifold nuts require torquing to 37 Nm (377 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf) by using a new gasket while applying the torque through the specified installation order. The first manifold stay receives a bolt and nut installation that reaches 44 Nm (449 kgf-cm, 33 ft-lbf) torque strength before the installation of the second bolt and nut combination occurs with the equivalent torque value of 44 Nm (449 kgf-cm, 33 ft-lbf). Secure the 4 front exhaust pipe bolts while applying the 2 compression springs. The worker should start by mounting the air fuel ratio sensor and the No. 1 exhaust manifold insulator. The under cover installation of the No. 1 engine completes the inspection process while searching for exhaust gas leaks.
