Re: [a/s] Electric brake source



George and all,
<snip>
Just an FYI. At the Sarasota Rally, I bought 12" backing plates, and complete assemblies for $40 or $50 per wheel. The install is then easy.
 
I mentioned replacing the brakes in this manner to a friend of mine and he said, "good luck getting the bolts off".
 
Is he talking about the bolts holding the backing plate to the wheel assembly?  Could there be a problem with corrosion there which could give a do it yourselfer a hard time?
