Hi All,

I have a 2006 Dodge ram 4WD 5.7L vehicle and I'm looking for a 2 piece rear brake backing plate. I do not want to have to remove the axle. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Don't think you are gonna find one..... Bite the bullet, pull the axle, and change the fluid while you are in there.

 

Then you are **** out of luck lol.....why would you think that such a thing a exists for a mass produced vehicle? Anyway it's not hard to pull an axle out of one side. Did yours get damaged or did it rust out?

 

I have seen 2 piece backing plates for different makes models over the years. Haven't seen any for Dodge rears tho

 

They exist... but not for Dodge. https://www.1aauto.com/chevrolet-gmc...6/i/1abmk00056

 

That's nice....does a fat lot of good for the OP, doesn't it lol?

 

No, that was all for you.

 

Good job.

 

Fixed it for you

 

I didn't want to do it either on my 1500 when I had to work on the parking brake actuators... but it wasn't that big of deal to pull the axle. And with those 1/2 ton rears, you gotta keep an eyeball on those lsd shims that crack apart and grind the hell out of your housing. After owning that 1500 for 11 years, I decided I really should just concentrate on 3/4 tons. 1/2 tons aren't really durable enough for my use, and I typically want to load it heavy anyway... 3/4 tons are the way to go for me.
