Default Re: Installing rebuilt rear backing plate

Sounds like you have moved the lever far enough to overcome the high end of the floating cam. You can push it back with some force. It will be much easier to do this if you remove the radius rod and bolt the backing plate on to the axle housing with the 2 rearmost bolts and nuts. This will secure the backing plate enough to give you enough OOOOMPH to push the brake lever back into the upright position. Removing the radius rods also allows you to install the ebrake levers and coil springs in place with the backing plate on a workbench.
