Removing Cat
#11
Thanks for all the help. Because of some problems with a borrowed air compressor I had to get a little innovative with tool selection.
I used a hack saw to make the short cuts along the side. I used a dremel 1.5" cutting disk for the two longer cuts. Since the longer cuts were across from each other I was able to put a hack saw blade all the way through and cut lengthways through the converter.
Once I did that I used the air hammer with chisel attachment and channel lock pliers to dig out the converter. It took about me about 3 or 4 hours to tear the guts out and a lot of that was messing with the bad regulator on the stupid compressor.
I ended up having a machine shop TIG weld it back together. Cost was $45 for the welding.
Hopefully this week I will have time to put the pipe back on.
