hobospyder Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I removed mine by holding the backing plate and banging on the floor. Mechanic directed even, he was standing there when I got the first one off 1 Quote Link to comment

finney Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I also banged my axel on the floor whilst holding the backing plate. Was a absolute mission. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 You might want some padding if going that route though, can be somewhat painful after 15 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Oh ok. So the backing plate comes out towards studs? 2 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Or towards axle splines? 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Towards splines. Bang spline end on ground, sorry wasn't clear 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 You need to press the bearing off the shaft and the rest of the stuff will come with it. You can cut up the backing plate to use as a spacer to maintain the shim/backing plate/bearing housing thickness which sets the axles depth into the housing. Basically the bearing is holding everything on. 2 Quote Link to comment
