On the Right rear, I found that someone had broken off the slave piston limit tabs from the backing plate. Rather than try to replace the backing plate, I welded some tabs back on.

But these pistons are rusted in their bores, so none of them moved when the brakes came off. IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
