Rear stone guard removal *anyone know how???

<< < (3/4) > >>

Lewo:
Mine went last week, mate cut the back plate off with tin snips.
Easier than taking caliper off. :smiley:

Lyons:
Ended up doing that after I removed the caliper. The disc wouldn't come off past the carrier, so I just abandoned it and got the hack saw out!

I had a look online there and replacements are about £25!!

Lewo:
Actually yes he did take caliper off!

xjay1337:
I had this issue on my GTI.
Bolt that held it in place had rusted away so it would wobble.

Hi All,

Resurrecting this thread to say that I got my rear guard off by cutting it in half using a hack saw and a bare hacksaw blade (to get greater depth).

Mine was broken at all three fixings so I made a cut towards one of the fixing holes and at the 11 O'clock position when facing the hub.

Hopefully this will be of use - they sure do make a racket!

Thanks
