Remove driveshaft without disassembling exhaust first?

[Touring2002]

I successfully replaced the bearing, and I'm waiting for the new guibo to arrive.

Thanks for the help!

Here are some pics of the CSB heat shield (#9 on the parts diagram), and the shields for the guibo, head pipe and steering gear.

These are necessary to direct the hot air through the  engine bay and protect the rubber and greased fittings (steering arm).

Shields should be readily available at scrap yards....I seldom see them actually installed correctly on our cars.

What's all the other shields for, is it to keep from settin the tall grass on fire when you go necking at night or is it to keep the bob war from wrapping around the driveshaft?

They appear to be there to protect rubber components (idler bushings, giubo, csb) from exhaust heat. Were these US-only items because our exhaust was hotter from emissions tuning? Or was it because we're less rigorous about maintenance? Or both? Neither?

from exhaust heat

Exhaust heat on cars with the egr catalyst with late timing tune.  My car had no heat shields.

Yeah when I first read about them the literature referred to EGR and I thought "well, EGR is no big deal" not knowing that they called thermal reactors "Exhaust Gas Reactor" and it has nothing to do with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation" most people are familiar with.

They made cars after 1973?

I thought smoking weed was acceptable behavior in Colorado...No?

Shields are for the tall grass not the short cut kind.

Basically, all the heatshields were for the USA 2002 & 2002A (not tii). The tii only had the center brg shield and the Turbo only had the front axle one on the pass side (according to the parts book).

I assume this was to satisfy USA requirements.
