Exactly what you did... just bend it.

glad you fixed it, I have the same issue when wheelin when getting a rock stuck in between that plate & rotor.

one thing I do want to say, is don't auto think you need to replace the rotor when you do brakes, you can "TURN" the rotors if it is still within spec and then you can slap new pads on it. this will prevent squealing. Any brake shop or auto part store can check if with in spec.

^^ That is true.
But also consider the cost, which will probably vary a lot. Some shops around me charge $40+ to do it.

It's often not much more money to get new rotors.Then you dont have to worry about taking your brakes apart, driving another vehicle to a shop to have the rotors turned and hope the trainee tech does a decent job (doesn't turn them too fast or use dull teeth). For how often we need to change brakes on vehicles these days, I'm a fan of spending $80-$100 for a good set of rotors and slapping everything on in a matter of 30 minutes and calling it a day

True, I have upgraded mine so it is cheaper to get turned for me.
Plus I have to take to a real brake shop to have them turned because they are slotted & dimpled.

I see your point if running OEM

With turning OEM one's here where I live they charge 10.00 per rotor to turn them so equals out to 40.00 for all 4.

Well I really appreciate all the help guys. The amount of knowledge on these forums is incredible. I would be helpless without you guys. I'll be going out tomorrow to try and bend that shield a bit more so it stops. I was scared to move it to much because I wasn't sure what it was lol.

Matt, I wish you lived just a litttttlllleeee closer so you could help me with doing all this work myself lol.
