Evenin guys.

I have a problem with my car. The rear passenger stone guard has worked its way loose and is now rattling about really loudly and scrapes like mad on the disc when I drive. As you can imagine it bloody loud when driving, so loud in fact that people can hear it from 50yrds away.

I've looked for the part online but I can't find it either.

Does anyone know how it comes off?? I've had a look at it from underneath and it looks like I need to remove the caliper and disc. Is there anything else I've missed???

The car itself is the mk2 Leon Cupra but it's the same as all mk5 golfs I think??

You need to remove Caliper and disc. This will expose the brake shield. Its held on by 3 torx screws.
Once they're removed you will need to cut part of the shield to get it off the hub.
If you do it right, you can refit it as well. Depends what has made it come loose. Maybe the torx bits have rusted away or come out?

Thanks mate. I've no idea why it's actually come off.

I just need to buy a set of multi spline bits to remove the caliper itself now as the tool kit I bought from halfords didn't come with any :(

jason_rmh:
You need something to cut the shield too, if you need to completely remove it. I used an angle grinder.

big eck:
Hopefully it's just the bolts that have come loose and they need replaced. That way I don't need to chop things up.
