Rear Brake Backplates

cloudbase · 22nd February 2017, 18:37

Info from the guys who have changed the rear brake back plates. I want to change mine and put new bolts in at the same time. Rimmers only show the lower bolt SYG100710. Can anyone tell me please can you use the lower bolts for the upper fixing or are they different? Many thanks.

All 4 bolts are the same. To be honest they are very hard bolts and unlikely to really need changing, but if you want to do it they are all the same.

I changed a backplate last year and the bolts were in good condition. They are inside the drum and don't corrode.

As the other guys have said - use the old ones they should be OK. I took mine apart last year, and removing the 4 bolts was a doddle. Removing the handbrake cable and the ABS sensor however was a completely different issue
