Correct ! You have to remove the heat shield and drill a clearance hole in it (or something like that) There is a flange near the rear axle which will enable the muffler to be removed (undo 2 nuts/bolts) I think I still have the instructions which I could fax to you if you like ? ← Thanks for your advice, just jacked the car up and had a good look, looks like I have to remove the rear bumper as well to get the bolts through the chassis tubing? looks like a bit of a mission, but will give it a go, thanks for offering to fax, but in NZ, if you have a scanned copy that would be great reece@woosh.co.nz "You have to remove the heat shield and drill a clearance hole in it (or something like that)" Yeah I think I need to drill a bigger hole in the heat shield for two bolts to fit through. Question, would the tow bar be attached directly to the chassis and then the heat shield to the tow bar? or the other way around? "There is a flange near the rear axle which will enable the muffler to be removed (undo 2 nuts/bolts)" Looking at the exhaust it looks like it is welded to the chassis, look at pic 3, there is a bit of metal welded to the exhast which is attached to some black rubber thing? Any ideas on how to remove the exhaust? Cheers!
