I just inspected my brakes and realized my backing plates are almost rusted away too. This looks like a good alternative, but how do I remove what's left of the old backing plates? I have read on here about having to remove axle shafts. Please advise.
Thanks
Justin

I have the same problem on my 99. It's from useing inferior metal that is rust prone. I never had the problem on my older trucks. The newer ones are just poor quality, plain and simple!
