How to remove Centerbrace retaining clips under Secondary Cats
I was under my car to scope out the work it takes to install a new midpipe. Everything looks simple and straightforward except for the fact that I saw two clips that I can't figure out how to disengage.
There are 6 bolts, 2 nuts, and 2 of these clips that are attached to a stud coming down from the heat shield. No matter how much I tried to loosen them they did not come off.
The clips in question circled in red
How the clip looks when looking up at the underside of the car
Can any of the Lexus specialists help a guy out.
I am interested in knowing what is the proper name for these clips and how to remove/reinstall them.
