i have a 96 zetec and i need to change the pcv valve... the haynes manual states i have to remove the cat converter but i cant get it off i took of the 4 top nuts and the bolts holding the cat towards the middle of the car... the how to on this site says to remove a pipe that goes around the right of the engine but theres no metal pipe that goes toward the cat or around the right side of the engine... can anyone help... the ford cd does not mention how to remove it.

get under the car, look up behind the exhaust manifold.

it's in clear site but its VERY tight spot, pry the old one out with a screwdriver or something and pop the new one back on. 5 minute job.

Yeah. It can still be a bit of a pain to get to.
