To remove the brake backing plate, first use a brake pedal holding tool to depress the brake pedal past its first inch of travel, holding it in that position to isolate the master cylinder from the brake hydraulic system and prevent brake fluid from draining. Next, raise and support the vehicle, then remove the three wheel mounting nuts and the tire and wheel assembly. Access and remove the drum brake shoes from the support plate. Position a 10 mm box wrench over the retainer fingers on the end of the parking brake cable housing, compress the retaining fingers with the wrench, and pull the cable housing out of the support plate. Disconnect the brake tube at the wheel cylinder, then remove the wheel cylinder attaching screws and take the wheel cylinder out of the support plate. If a wheel speed sensor is present, remove the screw fastening the sensor head in the rear of the hub and bearing and take the sensor head out. Finally, remove the four bolts securing the hub and bearing, support plate, and spacer to the trailing link, then take the hub and bearing, support plate, and spacer out as an assembly from the trailing link, separating the spacer and hub and bearing from the support plate once removed.
