Backplate replacement

Redmaestro · 28th February 2021, 21:20

I'm thinking about replacing both rear backplates - the holes that the sprung pins anchors into have rotted and could do with replacing. I've found a complete pair of backplates from dmgr's which are complete with new shoes, springs, pins, adjuster etc.

Am I right in thinking that once the disc & hub is off, the backplate is only held on by 4bolts? Once these have been removed, will the backplate just pull away and then I can simply replace the rotten one for a new complete one?

Has anyone else tried doing a straight swap without taking all the bits off the plate first?
