How easy is it to remove the rear splashguard on the range Rover my offside rear has gone porous the retaining pins for the rear shoes have come through so im replacing The rear sheild just wondering how is the job and has anyone else done in the job

Haven't done the job myself, but to do it by the book, it's a hub off job.
there is a write up on here somewhere, chap cut his in two, can't remember if he welded a piece of steel on two edges, then bolted the two halves together, but it's a pita.
if your backplate isn't too bad, there is another write up in wiki to strengthen the part where the pins go through, I have done this on mine.
have a search in the wiki, top right of page on here.

Depending how far gone the splash guard is you can get a fair few more years out of them and it saves the hassle and expense.

Order a Mk3 ford fiesta rear brake shoe fitting kit and use the pins, buttons and springs, a washer on the pin at the rear spreards the load even further.

I think Greg might be referring to me!

To replace it properly, you have to take the hub etc. Off and my hub nut is literally corroded on! Instead I cut the shield in half, and riveted a small metal strap to it, then a nut and bolt through the other side! You could potentially weld it on but will be a pain to hold and weld together!

You can strengthen it, might be worth a search as Greg said. 

Here is a picture before painting! Gives you an idea

Your the man stacker!

Thankyou all I will temporarily remove the shoes and when the weather turns sunnier I think the hub will come off and do The job

Pig of a job to do properly. I just cut mine off and had no problems or rattling since. Tom

Well a big thanks to the Forum and in particular Andtgts .(probably others as well - this thread was the most recent)

Rear brake pins pulled through the back plate yesterday, bought the escort pins as per Andy’s suggestion and fitted them today all sorted and one happy bunny.

This forum is a cracker well done to all that contribute

ps Is it only me that loses at least the skin of one knuckle when working on a FF!! (dam handbrake springs)!!

Cheers

Simon

glad it worked.

Saves a lot of hassle and expense doesn't it? especially if you can't DIY. Current
