Someone in an earlier post today said that they ruined the backing plate trying to remove the v-shaped thing with the notches. I have since deleted my digest and don't have the message. During my ordeal, I took the two bolts out but it looks like the device is held in by a pin of some sort. Does anyone know how correctly remove that thing? AND update on brakes. The rear brakes seem to be adding more to my stopping performance than before. Now instead of the full on "plunge" of the front end upon hard braking, I get more of an overall 'squatting' feeling, which tells me the rear brakes are contributing.
