Rear backplates stuck

Recommended Posts

I cannot remove the rear backplates from the hubs and am assuming it's corrosion between the 2 differing metals holding it on. Or am I missing something and being really thick 🤔

It's secured by 4 bolts that fix the bearing retaining plate which I've removed. 

Anyone had the same issue or a solution? 

It's been getting soaked in WD40 and heated on and off for days. If I go at it any harder I'm going to deform them. 

Thanks in advance for any advice

I damaged mine getting them off, tried everything but ended up just hammering them off.

I'm pretty sure they weren't that expensive from Porsche, I'll have a look through my invoices.

Cheers Andy, I don't think I can get enough heat into them, the alloy hub must be sucking it up.

I hate destroying things but I think that's the way it'll go. 

Hope you're well and maybe catch up after the year.

I tried to straighten mine once I'd removed them but they have to be perfect for the handbrake shoes to sit right. My invoice says £64.50 each but they sent me Turbo ones by mistake and then swapped them so don't know the actual price.

We'll surely manage a run next year!!!

Give me some notice - I will need to clear a route to get it out the shed.
