[Vwdiesel] mk2 jetta exhaust tunnel heat shield removal

[ken1]

Thanks, Roger. I  may have made a slight mistake, I only have the front of the car up on ramps. The rear tires are on the ground. When I got the clamping sleeve loose, I only get movement at the sleeve, so I am going to try the exhaust clamp method to release the springs on one side, then try to pry it over enough to release the second spring. After I go to the auto parts store, stay tuned. kne.

I have a link to a YouTube video on at least the shifter box removal/rebuild on my web page:

I am trying to gain access to the shifter box for a rebuild, but have not found any info in the Bentley or online that specifies what the "rotate off" the exhaust system means. I have tried several times and the shield always get stuck. I do not know if I should bend the heat shield or not, or if I should drop the exhaust down pipe and the muffler just to be able to remove the heat shield and be able to remove the shift box. Any  tips? Thanks.
