Brake Dust Cover
Hope this somewhat helps you and points you in the right directions, but someone that has done it to the IS can confirm its the same would be great!
Unfortunately I believe the heat shield is sandwiched between the hub/bearing assembly and knuckle. You will need to remove the hub assembly from the knuckle which in your case means partial axle removal as well.
Is your car RWD or AWD? Are you doing the front or rear? Isn't the car still under warranty?
Assuming it's RWD and you are doing the front, them the caliper and brake rotor need to be removed.
Disconnect the ABS sensor connector from the back of the hub and remove the 4 bolts. The wheel bearing assembly can then be removed, and viola, there is the backing plate.
Reinstall in reverse order torquing everything down.
