QuestionQUESTION: I read your answer to Lisa, and it sounded good. My question is this. Do you also have pics of the catalytic support bracket. Can this job be done by your neighborhood back yard mechanic.
Thanks dennis
ANSWER: I believe it just bolts on. If I find a picture I'll let you know. Remind me: what is the year and model? And to send a picture I need to know your email address.

There are a few tricks: This is from the '98 manual but I believe it applies equally to your 2000-
After disconnecting battery and raising the vehicle,
remove one nut on the catalytic support bracket.
remove two nuts from catalyst support bracket mounting.
remove two bolts and one nut attaching starter to engine
remove battery positive feed wire
remove starter solenoid assembly from trans housing
position starter to gain access to posi-lock wiring connector
position jack stand beneath engine and slightly lift to relieve pressure from left engine mount (use wood block spacer to protect pan)
remove three left engine mount mounting bolts from engine block
jack engine up slightly to give more room to maneuver the starter
slide rear of starter out between catalytic converter and engine mount
disconnect posi-lock starter solenoid connector
remove starter
Install is the reverse.
