Pulling out exhaust maniverter?

[gothstone]

Replacing the exhaust maniverter on my 2010 Aveo. Firt time I've done this on the newer model where the precat is welded to the manifold instead of a separate bolt on. Have the shield, O2 sensor, end lift eys removed, all the bolts/nuts off the maniverter and its free and ready to pull. But it won't fit and gets hung on the fan shroud. Before I yank the engine mounting bracket to shift the engine or have to remove the fan I'm hoping someone has a better idea?

Never mind, the fan isn't as hard to pull as I was thinking. Got it out fine after that.

Grr, some jerk hollowed out the pre cat before I got it. No wonder by O2 sensors read the same and the car has no power!

I made a comprehensive guide on how to replace the converters that you can refer back to with confidence.
