Juicehead99 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 OK so took mine out and pair out from scrappy (ballache) Is there an easyer way to get them back in without trying to push them through I tiny hole between heatshields between bulkhead and exhaust heat shield?

iantt Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 easier if you unbolt the heat shield from the floor and slide it backwards, think theres 4 bolts or nuts holding it in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juicehead99 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 So the heatshield on the bulkhead? The fiesta in scrappy had no cat on it so there was flex in the exhaust moving downwards so could make a bigger gap but was still tight. Tried putting them back in mine tonight and had no chance!
