Default removal of heat shield

Look at the bottom edge of the shield, towards the left side, There is a thick rubber hose clamped to the shield, the hose is coming from the air valve. The clamp must be separated from the shield and then the shield is freed.
you'll need a 11mm open wrench, and a small ratchet with an 11mm socket to loosen the clamp's bolt and nut. Then you can undo the 13mm bolt on top and the large bolt needs a 22mm socket with a large ratchet and extension.
I used stainless steel washers under the top bolts on reassembly to avoid scratching the Jet Hot Sterling coating with the bolt heads.
I just looked at the hose thing and mine is not attached to the heat shield, so it looks to me that removing the bolt heads on top will get it done. Thanks for all your help. Mine is a 85 Jaguar XJ6 by the way.
