swordsmanrex Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 My backing plates are completely rusted and need to be replaced. I don't know much about mechanics but do construction. Is there anything special I should know about replacing front and rear backing plates or is it a unscrew and replace type of thing that I can do with regular (non-specialized) equipment? Any help would be great!!! Please. I have an Impreza Outback Sports 1997. Mechanics in the area offered close to $2,000 to do it. I just can't afford that.
