Ok, im trying to chnage my headers right now and im taking off the heat shield so i can acess the bolts.... it seems as though i took off all the bolt but its still not comming off (The top part of the heat shield...the lower part came off) i was wondering is there any super hidden screw or do i need to pull it out a certain way??

thanks

 

i dont think there is. check again all around. and then use a flat head to pry it off.

 

danmit....i think i unbolted everything that is reachable about 3-4 screws.... it just feel very stiff

 

anybody have advice????

 

2 on top, 2 on bottom...

you dont need to take it out to take off your thermal reactor

 

so i dont have to take the heat shield off????

 

Its header, not headers and I ripped off my headsheild.

 

Yea the heatshield bolts can get really gummed up and hidden, but they are there. Like the guy said, two on top, two on bottom, I remember one of the bolts very hard to reach when I was trying to take off the shield. Instead, I just took off the header with the shield all together.

 

I bent the **** out of mine over the 02 sensor and ripped that **** out with my hands. It wasn't much fun.
