how do i get my heat shield off of the d16z6? i saw the bolts, but theres a wire running to it, not sure what it is but how do i get it off?

 

remove the 3~4 bolt holing the heat shield to the exhaust manifold
fallow wire of the O2 sensor to the gray 4 wire clip to the left of the manifold
unclip the connector from the mounting bracket
unplug the connector from the harness
pull back heat shild
pass wire throught the hole in heatshild

faling this buy the shop manual for your car (should be done if the first 4 hours of buying the car) look up removing the exhaust mani and fallow direction.
failing that sell car and ride the bus.

 

i will one day but for now could you tell me how to get the clip off? i dont want to break it.

 

bottom side of the connector Sensor side is a plastic tang squeze and slide it off.

 

thank you i got it off, the bolts are rusted, any ideas on how to get them off?

 

PB Blaster. If you don't have that, WD40. Let it soak.
