Yours may be rotten.

Chances are it's rusted around the bolts

Mine rusted away completely and started rubbing on the disk so I just took both the rear ones off but I didn't have to do any cutting

All I did was remove the caliper and the disk

It's quite common for them to rust
You can do a temporary fix by sandwiching the bolts with washers but it will need to be replaced or removed at some point

1 of my rear stone guards had managed to work itself loose. Anyone have a DIY for removing the caliper and disk for a complete novice?

GTI8v:
Quite a timely post as I noticed one of mine was rattling yesterday so had a quick look to see what it was this morning.
Without taking the caliper off it looks like the sheild had rotted through on the top bolt. Managed to bend it slightly so it's no longer rattling, but I'm hoping that a suitable sized washer will do the job.
Was looking to change the rear discs and pads shortly anyway so will sort it when they're off.

jason_rmh:
To remove it properly I think the hub has to come off. The work around is to cut it to allow it to be manipulated around the hub, after removing the torx screws.
