ibz Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_SV Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan_SV Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibz Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_SV Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibz Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 what about the rivet at the top of the heatshield Quote Link to post Share on other sites
