yeah, unplug it and get the wrench on there and give it a good hard pull, make sure the right way.
As for the heat sheild. you should probably wrap your manifold so the heat is transfered away from your engine bay, hotter air = hotter intake air. my engine bay gets very hot even with the heat shield, don't want to melt important wires. Also if the heat doesn't go down the pipe as quickly then your cats wont' heat up as fast so that could do something funky.
