Sherpa brake back plate studs

Featured Replies

I've tried to remove the threaded studs from my front and rear brake back plates (that the torque arms bolt to) because I want to clean them up and get them re-plated.  However they are absolutely solid and I couldn't get them to budge.  Am I right in thinking that they will be threaded into the alloy back plates?  Has anyone got any tips on how to remove them?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure those studs are cast in place

That would explain why I struggled! Thanks very much for the info - you've saved me from potentially breaking them.  Cheers
