When tackling a near side rear wheel bearing I found the only way to remove the caliper mounting bracket was to cut it off with a grinder. A trip to Doncaster motor spares got me a used bracket which refurbed pretty well and went on perfect.
Tackling the off side rear bearing went down the same path but thinking ahead I purchased a replacement bracket before chucking the grinder about again.
Strip down, slice bracket off, refurb everything, bearing in, build up.....until I offer the replacement bracket up that is!
The bracket is too thick to slot back between the stub axle back plate and disc and the actual offset of it is such that even if it did slot in the disc would be way out of line.
Is it me that's not paid enough attention when buying the second bracket?
Are there a few different rear brake set ups to complicate things?
The guy at the counter when purchasing the first bracket said they are all the same so I just took his word for it.
