For some reason no matter how many times i try, i cannot get the heatshield to stay in place. When driving it makes this tick tick noise which really really ****es me off. The heatshield is loose and i cant get it to stay no matter how hard i try...apparently the heatshield on the max doesnt appear to have a screw or clip holding it in. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

 

anyone?

 

It's pressed on...

take a look from my 'cutting off' step for my brake kit...

 

Thanks for replying.

i know its pressed on, but no matter how hard i press it in, bang it in, or basicly short of bending it...it doesnt stay longer than a couple of days. I was wondering if you had any ideas to keep it on? The grinding sound i believe is the heat shield spinning and rubbing against the caliper/rotor.

 

Small spot welds?

 

take the shield off???

 

It's more of a dust shield than a "heat shield". Just leave it off. You'll get more dust but probably better cooling too...

In that case... my pics are worth a 1000 words... er, 2000.

 

and if that doesnt work very well i;ll take it off.
Thanks
