Exhaust manifold bolt access
Hello all, I posted originally in the Fuselage section but probably should have started here.
I’m in the process of removing the heads on my 73 NYB. All exhaust manifold nuts are removed except the one next to the steering rag coupler. The heat shield is blocking access to it. Any good way to remove the shield without destroying it? OR, is there a combination of sockets/elbows/angles to reach it without removing the shield?

Rag coupler shield removal
So this is what’s going on.
Attempting to remove exhaust manifolds on my 73 Brougham. I have removed all but one, and it is behind the big steering coupler rag shield. Is there a trick/maneuver to access the nut or do I have to remove the shield?
And how is this accomplished?
Thanks for any words of wisdom!

I recently picked up my first C body – a ’73 New Yorker Brougham. Started researching it and this site popped up quite often, so here I am!
Dedicated Mopar guy, my last vintage car was a ’68 Roadrunner. MISS the heck out of that car.
Here to learn and offer some know-how.
