popotla Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 There was recently a squealing and scraping from the area of a rear wheel. I discovered that a metal cover over the inside was twisted and damaged, so removed it. I also found that on the other side, the cover was missing. I've no idea since when.So, presumably, I should replace these. I don't know what the part is called so hope someone can put me wise on this, maybe with a part number, too. Is it a spare part that's easy to obtain?Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It's the brake shield..... I always remove them to stop mud getting stuck...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 As above, I don't bother with them. You'll probably notice in the inner pads wearing a little fast but that never bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I did a disc brake conversion last year, and found I couldn't get the shield in. Didn't seem to affect the performance or the subsequent MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Mud Shield, don't bother replacing it. Makes it easier to wash it all out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yep, what everyone else has said. Just take what's left of them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
