Heat Shield Removal
« on: October 20 2017, 05:02:19 PM »
How in the blue hell do you get the heat shield by the heater box out. I removed the screws...but it feels like it's teetering on one more down by the corner of the head. I called Jason...but he can't remember how he got his out. There's lots of play in it...but I can't see anything more securing it.

Brad, as I recall last time I did this, there is indeed one last screw on the bottom corner. Believe the only way I was able to get at it was laying on my back under the car and reaching up with an offset screwdriver. Pretty sure it's a phillips head.

Sorry about that Brad. Being at work, I couldn't go look at it.

There's one screw at the bottom of the shield...and it's easily gotten to from the top with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and 7mm socket. With all the screws out...the shield appears to be wedged in...and doesn't wanna come out. I felt underneath the shield...and there's no more screws. For those that have removed it in car with the engine in...chime in on how you did it.
