In the process of changing my pads and rotors in the rear I found that one of the backing plates was completely rusted away and the other side probably won?t be too far behind. After looking in to how to replace them and found how time consuming it was I got to thinking of an easier way to do it so I wanted to check here to see if anyone has done it differently.
I was thinking instead of removing the axles I would just cut a slit in the new backing plate so I can basically wrap it around the axle and then using something like JB Weld to ?weld? the slit back together, although I don?t know that would matter too much anyway since there are 4 bolts holding the backing plate on so it wouldn?t really go anywhere.
So, thoughts?
