how do you get the rear cylinders off of the backing plate? i dont know if mine are seized up or theres a special way todo it? thanks
 
I just went through this.....get an awl/pick and pry out on the little tangs that clip on the side. Even a small thin blade screwdriver should work. Have fun getting the new clips on.....they can be a treat.
 
Yeah, those clips can be a pain but will go in rather easily if you get a big socket or pipe that just fits inside the opening. With the clip in position, and the wheel cylinder secured in place by wedging a board or something between the back of the axle flange and the front of the wheel cylinder just give it a tap with a hammer and in it goes.
