|
|
Hi All,
My Diesel shogun sport is coming up to 20 Years old still runs well,
I was adjusting my rear brake shoes by accessing the adjuster through the backplate and noticed they are starting to rot out. From the manual I have it looks like in order to change them the rear wheel bearing may have to come off plus some other parts.
Anybody done this job or changed rear wheel bearings - Do you have any photos?
TIA,
Towball |

It's possible to cut slots in replacement backplates, then weld them back in once the rest of the backplate is around the axle. This is probably much easier than removing the half shafts. I've not had to do it - only read about it.

I don't run any, I cut them off to stop stones getting stuck in behind them. |

Doesn't part of the handbrake mechanism mount on the backplate? |

Quite possibly, I just cut mine the same size as the disc! |

Hi,
Thanks for the replies.
I have removed excess material. However the tinworm is taking hold. The metal around the slot where you use a screwdriver to adjust the shoes gave way the last time I adjusted them.
Simon you are quite right and the handbrake shoes are mounted on this plate.
Cutting a slot is not an option as far as I can see as the plate is sandwiched between the axle tube and bearing carrier. Maybe it can be done if you partially separate the tube and bearing carrier.
Looks like nobody has done it and to be honest it looks a pig of a job.
Thanks |
