No you are right! A cotter pin is solid with a tapered edge, threaded at the end and a nut pulls it tight on the taper

Those old backplate are still 5x better than mine! On a 16-yo car you just know a bolt or two is gonna shear off causing more trouble. You've gotta pick your battles & brake backplates are well down on my to-do list. Mot man doesn't care if they are there or not.

Haha, had the same on my Mk2 Focus, backplates held by wheelhub assembly, and after hubs I can tell you those 4 bolts always sheer or brake no matter what you do! Luckily my backplates were ok so I treated them with Hammerite so hopefully they'll last.

Unless its an MOT failure who gives a fuck about backplates,

Same on a merc van but secret tip is to just cut a 2 inch line somewhere on the guard safe and twist it so it opens up then bolt each bolt up and it pulls in 😂👌

Where did you get back plate from ? Toyota dealers very expensive for rear corolla back plate.

Last week I did the right front backing plate on a Volvo xc90. Was easy peasy lemon squeasy. Remove rotor then 3 fasteners. That Toyota design is terrible. Thanks for sharing mate Boom 💥 sorted

What a bugger 😂fantastic efforts dude. Thanks for the footage my friend 😉♥️👌🇬🇧

I actually laughed out loud when you said "tap gently", but all in all it came off not too bad. I've had some of those that were a real struggle. Nice job

Rear brake shoe back plate not so easy 😂 PLEASE GIVE US A VIDEO OF REPLACING THAT BACKING PLATE

It’s a SPLIT pin! 😂 People from across the pond are just weird, no offence. They call Petrol gas. It says it all 😂

Good old Toyota those bolts can’t loose dead easy

I’ve had it bubble doing that , shit happens 👍🍺happy new year

Nissan are the same, my juke rear backplate has gone

landrover do it as well its a bloody nuisance my wifes went a bit ok a big bit rusty i just cut them off because they are not part of the UK MOT thanks for the video

Are you back in a unit bud ? Or still mobile ? Sorry haven’t watched for a while

Watching you bang that tool down made me smile sorry but it did because it made me feel like i wasnt alone lol :)

His air hammer needs some lube, either directly or atomised from the oil reservoir on the regulator.

Never really understood what backplates are actually supposed to do? Discs dont have " front plates " , do they? Also my Kia Ceed isn't actually fitted with any backplates on the front brakes , but the rears do , very strange?

Put a puller on it mate..

Mercedes ML as well. A real pain.

Hyundai tuscon same a pain in the ()

Massively shock loaded that bearing with the air chisel 🤔

I've got a clip for you, that makes this process so much easier.. IF you don't happen to have a "big nasty" air hammer.

You 💯 said that the bolts were 17 You definitely never said 19, or 18.

Those sorts of obs can be a bit of a pain.

Air chisel.... fooked 😅

Vauxhall the same rear wheel bearings bolt on through it so bearing of to change stupid design

With Toyota being such a good car it amazes me why they would do something that stupid that will make mechanics bad mouth the design after all the years building such a good reputation. Seen this on ford parts and clips you just can't get from the part shop cheap so they make it a right headache to get some bits. Car designers need to stop designing cars and parts that stop the DIY man from doing it himself. I stopped liking fords now because they build rust buckets and I would only have one if it was cheap and mint or very cheap and ok for 2 years. I like Toyota and Skoda mostly now after being a loyal fan to ford for years having 8 of them I just don't like the Turbo and EGR cooler location on the VW/Skoda for servicing that carbon build up. They could at least stick a service hole / pipe in the dirty side to stick some cleaner down easily like a we can do with the DPF pressure sensor hose to clean a blocked DPF.
