Re: Muffler Heat Shield

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

When removing the origional heat shield you should work outside in a
well ventilated area. Try not to crumble or otherwise disturb the
pieces keeping the whole shield in one piece. After removing it double
bag it and either put it away with a warning not to mess with it
because of an asbestoes hazard or dispose of properly. P J Grady sells
a replacement that is asbestoes free. One warning about it though,
until you heat it up a couple of times it has a very distinctive odor!
