Fitting my big brake setup and managed to do the fronts easy enough but having issues with the back.

 

The biggest being the brake dust shield for the OEM brakes.

 

As you need the inner part of the shield for the handbrake what does everyone do in terms of separating the shield or trimming it back ?

 

Its looks spot welded so i'm presuming you just drill out the welds or do people just cut off the larger piece ?

 

On mine I just cut off the small "return" that would foul on the rear of the new disk if left on. So you are left with the OEM back plate still in situ. Hope that helps?

 

I may have photos on my phone if you need anything else.

I cut slots into the return on mine and folded the "fingers" out so they were flush.

So the you basically flattened it out.

 

Need to check the size of the disc I have and if it will clear the new calliper.

 

I cut slots into the return on mine and folded the "fingers" out so they were flush.

Think they're just held on with friction, they're pressed on, least mine was from memory. I took mine off.

Cut them off in situ (and tidied up) similar to this photo:
