As an alternative to using bolts and nyloc nuts, you can use a different type of brake shoe steady pins, pushed through the backplate, and secured on the inside with cup washers, something similar to this....... Just an alternate observation Jim, all or sometimes nothing else works, but I've yet to use the Irwin bolt extractors, or chisels on these yet Brian |

Thanks all.. this is all out of my comfort zone, so I'll be speaking to my mechanic tomorrow to see when he can do it.

Just a quick update to say that my mechanic has found that it was rotting backplates.
He's done a temporary repair, but ultimately need new backplates. Notice DMGRS have them for £80 a pair (mechanic already fitted new shoes and fixing kit)… unfortunately Mat is now away and can't ship them until 3rd Jan which means I probably won't get them until w/c 7th Jan. |
