rear brake shoe pivot points

[armyphil]

How on earth do you get these little buggers out??

I have ordered new back plates but i am not sure if they come with the pivots so need to get them out.

I have tried molegrips and a screwdriver through the groove to twist them out.

I would try heat but do not have access to any

any ideas will be tried

Thanks in advance

take the whole pivot assembly off your old back plate and fit it to your new back plate [its only rivited to the back plate]....i couldn't shift mine either!!!.
good luck.

Grind down the housing to split it, then tap out with chisel.
