Do you have to take the brakes apart to get the disc shields off? Mine are rattling :(

Yes, you need to remove the pads and then the two bolts holding the caliper and shields to the hub. No need to drain system just hang the caliper up with a piece of wire to take strain off the flexi pipe.

You could always just pull them off... Mine managed to fall off on their own accord!

if you use a pair of water pump pliers you can push the pads back just enough to remove the calliper without having to even remove the pads, disturbing the split pins that would then need to be replaced. just remer to pump the pedal a few times when everything is back together before you drive off though.
