You can unscrew them.
 
Thanks
Are these holding them all together so you can take it off in one piece or are they at the back heat shield ?
 
Just wondering if there is a technique to get these off to remove the heat shield or is it a case of destroy them and buy new?

They screw off
 
That’s all I did, keep twisting and pulling and they work there way down and off
 
Long nose pliers or a small screwdriver work a treat for getting them started. just give em' a spin and your away!
 
Yep, as per all the above, I popped a flat head screwdriver into them and just untwisted them.
 
Is there a specific tool to remove these things?

I'm sick of slicing my fingers open when trying to remove them manually, can't always get a pair of needlenose pliers in to do it either.
 
Bit of wood with two carefully spaced nails? Perhaps a drilled hole to go over the stud?

What are they ? Heat shield fixings?

They are used in various places to hold heat shields and plastic underbody protection parts in place.
 
I'll be the first then...

I have been looking for a good nut washing tool for ages - never one of my other half's strong points... :smile bounce:
 
Long nosed pliers. They’re a bugger when the screw is rusted - just prise the centre out with the pliers and it’ll unscrew. Wear gloves when unscrewing as they ruin the tips of your fingers :mad:
