Replacing Expedition Brake Backing Plate Well, I got all set to do a full brake job on my 1998 Expedition. I got my new rotors, new pads and parking brake hardware. Due to the age and corrosion, I was looking for a fight, but was surprised how smooth and easy everything came off. That's when I realized that the backing plate was way too far gone in places. I was surprised to find that it was a dealer item. (always LOVE hearing those words!) My question is how do I go about pulling the axle/hub to replace the backing plate? I would have thought there would be a notch cut out of it to slide it in behind, but NOOOOO, you have to pull the hub off to get at it. Any help would be appreciated. |
