Hi,

I'm replacing the emergency parking brake shoes and I need to remove the backing plate so I can place one of the spring retaining pins through the back.  Can I remove this without messing with any of the suspension???  It looks like I can but I just want to be sure.  Another question... should I replace or repack the rear wheel bearings while I have the calipers off.  I don't have any noticable problems with them but I don"t know how long ago they were serviced... I know the job is a pita...
