    I see 2 heatshields.
    One bolted to the firewall with 3 off 10mm nuts.  Looks easy to remove.
    Second one on the steering rack obscures the boot clip on one side.
    Second heatshield appears to be made of fibreboard or FG covered in Al Foil.
    Appears to be held on with about 3 pop rivets into something.
    How does this second heat shield come off?
    Is it clipped on to the Power Steering rack main tube?
    Or do I have to break it and replace with some al sheeting.
    Heat shield is needed to protect the seals in the rack end.
