Subject:Removing rear brake backing plate
From:Kevin

Hi Everyone,
Finally getting to the rear bearings and have Two questions.  How do I
remove the backing plate?  I removed the two lower bolts and the one on top
but there is still one more on the bottom but I do not see a head for it.
It seems if I remove the shoes I would still not be able to spin that shoe
holder part around to loosen it.  Also what size is the bolts to remove the
bearing housing? I think it will be easier to remove that and then inside cv
then remove the CV bolts on the other side (boxed in side) when it is off.
Thanks
Kevin
