The backplates, pins, springs and cables were all good, just the de-bonded linings. My other car though needed backplates, pins and springs - all corroded and unserviceable, the shoes although worn had not come adrift from the shoes. Hope that helps, Paul. |

Hello Simon, I can’t say for sure, but everything looked pretty factory and undisturbed, if someone had been in there before the were certainly very careful with all the fixings etc. The shoes looked identical to the ones on my other car that hadn’t de-bonded. |

They are very tight indeed. How about investing in heavier duty tooling instead of paying the mobile mechanic?

It's not easy but once you have the wheel off and a good torch you can see/ feel where the retaining pins push through the backplate and twist to lock. If they are not there then that is your problem.
