Interior rotor/wheel hub shield protector? #737248 07/13/06 02:35 PM

Need a Spot
I'm not sure exactly what's its technical term, but the metal shield that protects the inside/backside of the rotors/wheel hub. Well, my driver rear finally rusted off. It actually got stuck between the wheel and rotor, but I was able to yank it out.

My question is do I need to replace it? Any harm from having the one rear rotor exposed? Mind you, I'm up in the salty snow belt region.

Roll Me Over
Wouldn't hurt. I replaced my fronts. Only problem with the rear you will have to pull the axle, and that also involves buying new parts for reaassembly.

How does the ebrake cable attach? All ok? If so, I'd junk them. I plan to on my 97 MS locker axle, since they are semi-crushed anyway...

My MS axle sat on the plates at the scrap yard when they took it out for me, and in my garage until I got it up on some jackstands, and did some hammering on them. I am glad I saved them. Not too sure how great they are for mud retention, but I like them on there anyway.

It was not hard at all to bend them back into place.
