Backplates

[exec406]

I've got new wheel bearings/hubs ready to be fitted with new back plates.

In the video below, at 2:50 you can see 'hub bolt indent' being removed. Is this a factory fitted item? I can't seem to find any for fitting with new new hub / bearing. I take it this indent is a safety feature (preventing hub bolt loosening)

It's just where the lip on the hub nut is staked (=hammered) into the slot in the stub axle. All you need to do is punch it clear so the nut can turn.

Always use a new hub nut & once you have torqued it to the correct setting you stake the new nut with a punch or a flattened cold chisel into the indent in the stub axle.

I've mentioned this before in other posts, but here is a reminder....

Remove the hubs before you try to do any work on removing the handbrake shoes...it will make the job a lot easier.
When you have fitted the backplates make sure you fit everything related to the handbrake, including the shoes, before you fit the new hubs/bearings...it will be much easier to fit the springs and shoes with the hubs out of the way!
The hubs/bearings should be the last thing to be fitted before the drum/disc.

In the video it shows fitting the hubs before the shoes! This is just making life difficult for yourself!

I have took the plunge and purchased a pair of the Klokkerholm replacement backplates
And I am pleased to report that they are great quality, they are even galvanised
A massive saving over O.E, £79.00 the pair delivered compared to £105 each + vat O.E
I'm going to get them powder coated at work as well just to be safe.

So if anyone's unsure about these let me reassure you that there just the job
I will post up pictures of the job
Here's the said backplates :

P.S if anyone's got some old scrap one's with the caliper mounts still there, I'd happily give a few beer tokens + p&p
for them .
Cheers DDD.

Anyone seen these?

[steve_earwig]

Nope, probably because the seller has invented a new name for them

The rather look like the Klokkerwotsits for a grossly inflated price...

Why am I thinking that in a few years time there will be meetings in remote corners of car parks under cover of darkness where exchanges of dubiously-sourced Peugeot back plates will take place for many monies.

There the ones I bought & the same seller, the price has only gone up £5.00 since Brexit
