Rear disc shields

by craigyboy » Fri Jun 10, 2011 8:17 pm

I've ordered a new set of back disc shields from vauxhall
as the ones on the car have rotten and the pins wont hold
the shoes in place.
Is it possible to fit the new ones without taking the hubs off?

I was thinking it might be possible to cut the rear
side of it ,and try and get it round the hub?
