how to remove front dust shields?..

[mrcrazybutt]

sigh.. i recently did the z32 front brakes. but.. as always something bad went wrong. instead of just cutting the dust shields.. i actually bent it and whatnot. now it hits the rotor when i drive. I tried bending it back and it just kept hitting it. so im gunna remove it. But i dunno how to... can you guys guide me thru this? Like what to unbolt and remove in order to get to the dust shield? Im new at this.. do i need any special tools? Is it hard...? if so .. i guess ill just bring it to a shop or something.. but i would like to do it myself first atleast try =] thanks for listening and help from anyone

remove the hub and then you can hammer out the dust shield.

i remember when i did the q45 brakes, hubs wouldn't come off for anything. I just cut the shields.

is the hub easy to take off and put back on??

Kevin, I think you miss-read that.You need to remove the nut cover. and then remove the nut, then the hub should slide right off. 1 nut!

[mrcrazybutt]

ohh okay that one nut in the middle?. but um, correct if im wrong but isnt there some bolts attached behind the spindle to the hub?

[mrcrazybutt]

ohhhh i didnt see that your from philly too! hopefully i get to see u rolling around one day =]

Das...is that nut the end nut for the cv??? If I'm right lemme know.

[MagikDragon]

This is the front! there is no CV axle, no nuts or bolts behind, just 1 NUT in the middle.

That nut cover is nearly impossible to remove.

[mrcrazybutt]

T.T any ideas how to remove the nut cover??

[Dittoz7]

[Warped161]

thin flat head screwdriver and a hammer.
