    I only had the screw at the end that was broken. Ended up fixing it by drilling a hole on the end of the shield at the backside and drilling through chassis. Then I used a bolt that went through the small tool compartment to the heat shield if you know what I mean. Basically a new hole/screw. I do want to thank you for your video as it gave me ideas and a better understanding how to fix this and I also as a means of prevention gave the in-tact bolts rust treatment. For me I did not need to move the exhaust out of the way. Also, 5.5k views versus 42 likes makes me sad. I hope more people leave a like.

    I have tried to take the first nut off and the bolt split?Any recommendation?

      Loads of penetrating oil and try moving the nut both ways, before trying to undo it.

      I’m sure there’s a few garages close to you who would do it, for not a lot. Thanks for watching.

    Do I need the shield there?

      I think it protects the fuel tank. So I would have it there.
