Q: How to service and repair the brake backing plate on Ford F-150?
A: All work on the backing plate begins by removing rear brake shoes with their linings. The first step requires disassembling either one axle shaft or complete housing assembly of axle shaft alongside the rear hub. Using a cable compressor tool squeeze the retainer to free up the parking brake rear cable with its conduit from the brake backing plate. Begin by detaching brake line fittings to remove the rear wheel cylinder then unscrew its two retaining bolts until you can pull out the wheel cylinder. Remove the brake backing plate through removal of the four back up plate-to-axle flange nuts and bolts. The brake system needs bleeding during installation after following all steps in reverse order.
