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.
5.
Pour the beads into a sifting pan (J-34155-1) and sift to remove undersized beads.
6.
The new converter, part no. to be obtained from the Parts Information section of this bulletin, should be propped up at a 45 degree angle with the
lower bed fill hole at the top.
7.
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.
8.
Lay the converter down on a flat surface with the lower bed fill hole on top.
9.
Insert the fill plug into the lower bed fill hole. The fill plug outer rim must rest against the converter body.
