Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    removing heat shield over exhaust pipe

    any way to do this without removing the exhasut pipe itself? i got the two side bolts off no problem. it's that center one right above the pipe that is a pain in the butt.

    i'm removing it so i can change my parking brake cables.

    thanks in advance!

    It would be a lot easier in the long run if you removed the sections of pipe that are in your way, what's a couple more bolts?

      yeah that's what i figured. was wondering if someone had some magic trick they'd be willing to share. it's rusted pretty badly, so i'll tread carefully.

        hum, I just removed mine.. and the middle screw was not attached to it.
        (it was there but there was a hole in the shield to let it pass) I think the shield might be stuck under the ac/alternator mount.

        Or maybe mine was just too rusty...

        if you need to remove the manifold, might be a good timing to clean/switch gaskets

        have fun

          I'm not a huge fan of those shields, I removed all of them w/ the exhaust fully intact, it is possible. I think a few times I used tin snips to get them out but you should be able to wrestle them out, that's if you plan to not put them back in!

            guess i didn't explain myself well enough. the pipe is rusted out pretty bad, especially where the bolts are- near the muffler (it's original). guess i'll try and drop it down by removing the whole thing from the rubber holdings.

              I was trying to take this off my self as well today, got all the bolts out easily with a lil pb blaster but I couldn't wiggle it out. Looks like the power steering/alternator bracket piece is in the way, so is my ac line.
