I just fixed the awful squeal on my Healey's front discs. As suggested by the 
group I had tried Plan A, an anti squeal gunk which didn't work then plan B, 
added shims which worked a treat. 
 
Unfortunately when fitting the shims I had to first remove the pads and as 
doing so, tore away the "dust cover" - about 30% coming away in both cases. It 
had become glued to the shoes by the anti squeal gunk. 
 
Do I need to replace these? It was hard to tell if it plays an important 
sealing / safety role... 
 
Thanks
