Try tapping it very lightly with a hammer or put a little heat on the manifold to expand the casting. The rivets in the heat mainifold shield are a bitch. They have a real streep taper some will come right out, but others!!. I used a chisel and hammer,. then hit them at a angle. you could just grind/drill them off and retap for standard treads if all else fails. They will come out with finesse. good luck mike > . ============================================================= Posted by wixList Archiver -- http://www.amxfiles.com/wixlist
