I walk through how to remove the brake dust cover on a car without needing to remove the hub using some needle nose pliers and heat after removing the brake caliper and rotor. I also show how to reinstall everything after removing the brake dust cover. This car is a 2007 Honda Fit.

These are on there for a reason, multiple actually, they protect brake components while protecting suspension and other components from the heat generated by rotors. The only valuable purpose this video serves is how to remove a bad brake shield in order to replace it with a new one.

@TheBenjamingough Год назад

Mine are like 60 quid each so what do they protect again and they aren’t doing anything for heat nice blag tho

@ronnie3044 Год назад

They do nothing in terms of protecting suspension parts. Your rotors will not get hot enough to produce enough heat to hurt your suspension. Rotors only produce heat when in motion...which means your suspension is being cooled by the air anyway. Its a cheap piece of thin steel. Its not doing much.

That’s weird, cause every car I had before these BS things was fine

GMC uses the rear dust shields to support the parking brake pad(s). No dust shield no parking brake, no parking brake no valid inspection sticker.

But he doesn't even replace it with a new one..🤔🤯

My rear drivers side dust cover has completely rusted off of the points where it holds onto the hub. Basically just a disc that spins freely behind the rotor, but it won't come out unless I cut it, because it's around around the axle. So its basically a rusted disc thats hitting my rotor over and over as the rotor spins (think when you had a bicycle and would attach a card or crushed metal can to the wheel so it would hit the bicycle spokes as your wheel turned, that's what it sounds like) And its very annoying. Hopefully I can get it off from under the car without taking the wheel off at all. Obviously it would happen a month and a half after replacing the caliper and pads on that side..its been a rusty disc for years..but now it just finally decided to completely break free. Cant even find my snips in all my tools 🤦

My rear driver side dust cover just did this yesterday. The exact same thing you got.

@djhams 3 месяца назад

I am in the same exact situation, and it happened after the brakes were changed. Did you ever get yours off? Im considering trying breaking off pieces of it with a plier, without having to remove the wheel.

@dominiquetran1765 3 года назад

If trying to replace the brake dust cover, how would you install the new brake dust cover after taking the old one off? Or is it not necessary to have one?

i guess you could put new ones back on the same way you took off the old ones(cutting them up).

Ya Did I Mention That The Windshield Is Not Needed, Just Extra Parts Like Lug Nuts, Why Use 8 When The Wheel Stays on With 3. Great Video :O)

@rafaelmendoza1103 Год назад

If you saw this video you want to delete the dust shield… Don’t Say No 😂

@blesdavis7637 2 года назад

you need a dust cover to protect rotors and the brakes from debri

@mad-max1829 Год назад

its best to leave them on, due to rainy weather , dust etc, the cover helps prevent water on rotors and brakes not stopping as they should

@ronnie3044 Год назад

Havent had them on any of my cars in over a decade. Never had a single issue. They trap more debri than anything.

@xx_tyrome_xx8288 Год назад

Never had a problem my blazer has no dust shields at all

@jimcuch1749 Год назад

For some reason they rub up against my rotors in the front. Nothing seems to help, so they gotta go!

@rockydavis2063 Год назад

how do you clean the dust cover a lot of rust on the dust cover

@xx_tyrome_xx8288 Год назад

I personally never had a problem yet my blazer has no dust shields at all been through the rain and all

@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time 8 месяцев назад

My S-10 uses the rear dust shields to support the parking brake pads. No dust shield no parking brake, no parking brake no valid inspection sticker.

@timkiess5623 14 дней назад

Mine rusted off and the new one won't go on without removing the wheel hub. Anyone ever cut one and then welded it on?

@timkiess5623 14 дней назад

This being missing is causing the wheel sensor to get dirty causing my abs to activate when stopping

@nicholastoppin3461 2 года назад

Why didn't you put the dust cover back on

@TheBenjamingough Год назад

There expensive for doing nothing haha

@the7miledoggboss444 Год назад

but you still need the dust shield don't you?

@VincentStevenson Год назад

Not really. Also if they get bent they will scrape against the rotor and make a very high pitched noise

@99shadows66 Год назад

Yes, you do, not only do the dust shields keep brake dust from landing all over the suspension parts, they help direct air around the brake rotors to increase cooling to keep the brake rotors from warping. Do you really think car makers would install a part on a car that costs them $$ if it didn't serve any purpose? Don't re-engineer your car unless you are a smarter engineer than those that designed the vehicle. I chuckle at all those folks that think that these parts don't do anything for the vehicle.

@viisteist1363 2 года назад

so why would one hack up a completely normal and solid dust cover lol

@homegr0wn 2 года назад

I've found that they seem to cause additional corrosion on a car's brake components, especially cars in the Midwest. The covers tend to rust fairly quickly and can cause rust to spread. Also, a lot of people that track their cars will remove them because they cause the brakes to keep additional heat and lose braking responsiveness. The only thing they do is keep brake dust from floating outside of the area, which is not something that most people are worried about. So, a lot fo reasons.

@viisteist1363 2 года назад

@@homegr0wn it might protect the pads and rotor from small rocks on the road tho? and because there are less rocks on te track, then its also not needed in there that much?

@VincentStevenson 2 года назад

In the past, I’ve had the dust cover rub against the rotor and it makes a very loud squeal. Removing it helps prevent that, also it makes it faster for the rotors to cool down so that can help improve braking down hills.

Pull the twp axles, but if you're smart, Dorman two piece dust shields.

@catherinemorthorst6958 Год назад

It's there for a reason... Especially in cold weather states with salt and or sand for the roads. Removing them is a quick way to freeze up your slid pins.

@ShutdownStranger Год назад

They’re on every single car on the road. They serve multiple purposes and it’s not a great idea to remove them.

@xx_tyrome_xx8288 Год назад

When I purchased my balzer it didn't have any dust shield drive in the rain and all never had a problem

@NightFlight1973 17 дней назад

@@catherinemorthorst6958 Wouldn't have thought of that part. I'm in Canukistan, so its cold here. I'd need them for that part of the year. Mine are all rusted to shit and need to come off.
