Using a hammer and chisel, remove the fill hole plug from the lower bed. (The smooth side of the converter is the lower bed side). See
Figure 1 and 2.
7.
Hold the converter over a clean pan (J-34155-2) and empty the catalyst beads by shaking. It may be necessary to tap the converter belt flange
with a hammer to loosen the beads.
8.
Pour the beads into a sifting pan (J-34155-1) and sift to remove under-sized beads.
9.
Prop the new converter up at a 45-degree angle with the lower bed fill hole at the top.
10.. Using funnel J-34155-3, pour the sifted beads into the lower bed of the new converter. If additional beads are required to completely fill the
lower bed, it will be necessary to obtain a lower bed bead kit from the parts department. Excess beads from the kit should be saved in a clean
container for future use.
