Im getting closer to haveing my rear brakes all re-buit but ive run into a problem due to how rusty this backing plate was the bottem to bolts that hold it to the axle broke off and i have threaded pieces stuck in the hole on side has the back part of the bolt sticking out so i might be able to get a wrench or vise griips on it to get it out but the other side is broke off on both sides of the nut, i cant get a drill in their or any thing as it is so tight of a spot...please help me...

 

I'd really like to help (if I can). Slow down and explain. Some punctuation and spelling would be helpful.

Ok the self taping factory screws in the bottem of the backing plate broke off.
Im thinking ill have to drop the axle as i can not get a drill up in there. How can i drop the axle and pull it out to get enough room?

 

Drum or disc? Backing plate or dust shield?

its the backing plate...ive got it taken care of now....is their any thing else i should do to the rear while i have the axles removed and the transfer case taken apart?

 

Might as well inspect or replace the bearings and seals, change out the oil in the differential.
