Brake backing plates.

Post Wed Dec 11, 2013 9:36 pm

Found an old scrapper with 2 good backing plates.
I know they are good because I've removed
everything bar the wheel hubs.
As it's a scrapper, is there an easy way I can remove the plates,
bearing in mind I only want the plates?

Take the legs and do it at home

Legs = output shafts, Dan?

No mate, rears. Fronts are gone.

£20 each new, when available.
Seems a lot of people have had trouble getting them , having to
wait months on back orders.
Could do with having a Puller in my arsenal anyway.

Just checked, both available and £26 odd each now

Bearing puller wont be any help to remove the hub, a separator will though, check out this vid -
