heat shield could be broken or loose missing screws to hold it in place.NO bad idea DONT remove heat shield it protects other components from heat damage.heat shields also protect vechicle floor board from getting too hot causing fire.
It sound like you have touch all the base, so your going to need to check the dust shield on the back side of the rotor. Make sure that it has not gotten bent forward towards the rotor and wheel rim area of travel. It's a common thing to happen as the brakes heat up the dust shied warps slightly and if there is not enough gap between the dust shield and rotor, and rim will make the chirping noise you hear. You may not even have top remove the wheel to fix this, just turn your wheel all the way to one side so you can get to the back side of the brake assembly and push the dust shield away from the rotor/wheel area. Good luck and hope this helps. keep me posted. be glad to help you get rid of that Gremlin.
Behind the protective shield are two plastic layersright next to each other if the front one is not broken and the quality of the picture is good considering the damage to that specific spot on the screen you should not have to replace it,only remove whats left of the broken shield.Be careful not to scratch that front lens.
