im about to do this task today also dude, never done it before so looking for some pointers also

looks like a headache mate lol. jay told me that i could just take the heatshield off and its not necessary to put back on. but i cant even get the thing off lol

mine was rivited on! had to force it but it came off in then end.

once you get that off its pretty straight forward.

you will be able to see how its fitted on once the heat shield is off. can't exactly remember what it looks like though

i treid to get the heatshield off but it doesnt budge. did you have to drop the exhaust to get it off ?

looks like my trusty pri bar Josepi will be getting called out today.

nope did it with the exhaust in place. can you see anything that is holding the shield on??? or will it not move at all?

mine would move and it took a bit of forcing but it came off pretty easily.

yeh i can see where its riveted on, tried bending the shield so it snaps but it doesnt even snap lol. just doesnt want to budge

[Dan_SV]

can you get anything behind the heat shield near to the rivets??

if you can get behind it then try and lever it off you should be able to shift it.

what about the rivet at the top of the heatshield

just got a long bar behind the rivet and tried to get it off but it didnt work lol
