Has anyone replaced their Caliper spring plates?
I had a quick go at the rears recently when replacing the pads but they seem to be on tight. I tried the screws but didn't want to mess up the head of the screw so left them.
Anyone got any tips, use an impact driver?

I had my fronts replaced by someone that knew what they were doing and they also powder coated them so I wouldn't have to deal with corrosion (again.) The rears I did myself. The screws are held in place with locktite so you will need heat to loosen them. A hair dryer will not work, you need a torch of some sort.

Heat them to red hot with a blow torch. Make sure you protect the pistons from the heat with bits of steel plate
