Many thanks for the video. Explained very clearly with torque settings as well. Super job👍

[@oldgitsknowstuff]

Excellent informative video. Good tip for removing those `Orrible handbrake cables from the backplate tube. You did of course refit the hub centre cap, probably came off with the wheel.

Thank you very much! Yes, it was all fitted back.

Not sure if I was unlucky, but heating up the assembly with a blowtorch to try to free the seized inner race damaged my ABS sensor. You don't even know it's happened until the whole thing is back together again for a test drive, then you have to take it all back apart to replace the sensor. I'd recommend either removing the sensor first (a challenge in itself) or just use penetrating oil and levering to try to free up the bearing.

Would have been good to say what size the hug nut socket was required and he did mention the T50.

Hi there,
If you are replacing both sides, you would need the following:
1 x rimmerbros.com/Item--i-SMF100211ASSY
1 x rimmerbros.com/Item--i-SMF100201ASSY
These are supplied per side and include back plate, brake shoes, springs and adjusters.
SMF100211ASSY is the RH
SMF100201ASSY is the LH
They're very comprehensive and provide a cost effective way to renew the rear back plates which are plagued with rust issues. We would strongly suggest renewing the hub retaining nut CDU1534, on each side too.

Hope this helps!
