[DML] Re: Cat Heat Shield.

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To get to the bolts that hold the shield to the motor or to remove the
small strap you really have to remove the cat first. Maybe you just
want to leave the old shield alone for now. To get the cat out you
have to remove the muffler. You will break studs, clamps, and bolts.
Save the job for when you replace the exhaust manifold gaskets. At
that time you will have to remove everything anyway.

would raise with it and thus not give me the room I need. Now it looks
like, if I remove the muffler and brackets I might be able to slip the
