    yea chisel it off with a punch or something. A decent sized hammer will do. Or cut it off. Those heat shields will have you cussing up and down by the end of the day. lol

        punch and hammer, or cutting wheel or anything just to bust it off. Don't worry about trying to save it

            Small pistol and shoot it off.. anything solid with a sharp end you can use to knock it, hit like like you mean it!
