Rear brake backing plate replacement

[95escahoe]

My rear brake backing plates are shot gonna go with the one piece GM ones over the Dorman 2 piece ones cause the GM ones are thicker and will last longer, so you need to pull the axles, besides new axle seals & bearings anything else you'd replace while your in there?

I just ripped mine out.
I did see somewhere that someone makes 2 piece plates. No need to remove the axels. I sure if you Google you'll find the company that makes them

Like I said above Dorman makes the 2 piece one but compared to the OEM ones it's a lot thinner so gonna go with the GM ones which are thicker got 13 years out of these it's worth the extra work imo

I'd change the bearings while you're in there, just as regular maintenance. Fluid also.
