Expert Reply:
Yes, to install the Curt Class-I trailer hitch # C11025 you referenced, you will need to remove the heat shield during installation and modify it when reinstalling.
When pushing the heat shield back into place, you will most likely need to modify or bend it into position to re-install.
Take a look at the installation video at the 0:59 and 6:47 minute mark and the helpful article I included for you.
