A proper backing plate service starts with removing the brake shoes and linings from the rear. To start servicing the backing plate begin by pulling back the
Parking Brake Cable spring before disconnecting the parking brake lever. The technician needs to detach either the
Axle Shaft or the axle shaft together with the rear hub. Pull the parking brake rear cable and conduit from the brake backing plate through the usage of cable retainer compression. The service of the rear
Wheel Cylinder begins after disconnecting the brake line fitting followed by taking out the two rear wheel cylinder bolts. The next step requires removal of the four bolts and nuts connecting the brake backing plate to the axle flange. The installation of the new backing plate requires following the reverse order of removal while performing brake system bleeding at the end.
