Default Removing Big Radius heat shields?
I'm getting ready to take my heat shields in for powder coating and before I start tearing things apart I thought I would see if anyone has experience with taking off Big Radius heat shields. It looks like I just have to loosen and remove the hose clamps. Is that it? Will it be easy to re-install the heat shields after power coating? Please excuse my ridiculously novice quesitons.

You got it right just remove the clamps and they'll come right off.

When you pull them leave the clamps in the heat shields after unscrewing them and reinstall the same way. It makes it alot easier.
