Normally, now would be the time to disconnect the hydraulic brake lines before further disassembly. However, this car had a recent brake job performed and there was no need to upset a job we felt was done well.

6. The four bolts holding the backing plate on need to come off first. There are castle nuts and cotter pins on the reverse side, which also hold the spindle arm to the backing plate.

7. Since the flexible hydraulic brake lines were still connected, the brake assembly needed to be secured so the brakes lines weren't supporting its weight. We used a coat hanger and hung the brakes from a fender brace.
