How do you remove the metal "Mercedes Benz dust cover" on the rear brakes where the anti-rattle clip used to be.
Front covers slid away from spindle and then pried off but I can't figure out how to remove on the rear covers.
Thanks for the help.

"Alldatadiy.com" does not show this option. They only show the anti-rattle clip style. This vehicle has the Sport package and is a Canadian model. Hence the fancy dust cover. Parked the brakes and released the pressure on the pads so that I could rotate and expose the pads. I hit the dust shield several times with a small hammer but didn't budge the cover. I stopped as I've learned not to force anything on a Mercedes because it's going to cost you dearly for a new replacement. There is always an easy way, just difficult to figure out sometimes.
Anyways....I was able to leave the cover on, slide the pads into location and re-assemble. Good luck out there. Let me know if you've figured out how to remove this cover.

Most of those covers just pull off, or have a single screw.
