2004 Chevrolet Impala Brake Backing Plate Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the rear disc brake backing plate on 2004 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: Begin with wheel and tire removal from the rear side of the vehicle while supporting it on jack stands. Loosen the park brake at the equalizer before taking off the rear brake components such as the caliper bracket and rotor. Pull out the rear park brake cable from its bracket on the rear wheel and take off the park brake cable return spring from the park brake actuator and web section near the wheel. You must carefully extract the rear hub unit with the backing plate and related components together. Serially take hold of the 2 retainers and the park brake cable bracket at the park brake actuator. Put the rear hub set aside. Take out the park brake parts from their position on the backing plate. Set the park Brake Shoe and actuator parts together on the backing plate before fitting it over the rear hub. Attach the park brake cable bracket first and then install the two retainers and the rear hub. Plug the park brake cable into the rear wheel bracket and fasten the park brake spring back into its spots at the rear actuator. Place the rear rotor and caliper bracket afterward refitting your rear wheels and tires. End by tuning the park brake system at the equalizer before placing the vehicle back down.
