Ford, Resurfacing Backing Plate Pads

In this video, I show how to resurface your backing plate pads and why. Its not too hard as long as they are not too deep. This procedure will work on any car that has drum brake backing plate pads, Ford, GM, whatever. Thanks, and good luck.

Hello Nick. This is on one of my to do lists. Thanks for pointing it out. From an average Joe.

Nick,
Good poop! One of those little things that DIYers generally overlook. But that's why we have gents like you to keep us straight. 👌
Regards,
John

Thanks Nick...I'm sure that is mostly overlooked by the average Joe when doing their brakes at home.

Hey Alvin, Ive never done a brake job where I didnt have to surface the backing plates. However, these were pretty good and hardly worn. Thats unusual. Thanks.

One of my To Do tasks as well, good timing... Mate!!! Mine need welding 😞

Very good info! Does that apply to the '65 T-Bird, too? I presume it does. Thanks!

Yes, any drum brake car.
