I'm just trying to rip off the dust shield as that's got a bit rusty and hits the wheel when driving.

 

However, the brake pads look very close to the disc? They don't get stuck on and I've not noticed any issues... Yet.. they're practically touching! Is this right? They're about a year on

 

It won't let me attach using Imgur so I'll try and post the link to the image.. https://imgur.com/a/kIAgT89

Yes, normal.

Oh, I wasn't expecting that to be honest. Thank you
