Piece o piss. Unscrew the half shaft retaining plate, screw a puller on and let fly.  ;D

Exactly. And when you've done it, you can win the lottery buy walking into a shop and buying a ticket ;D

Except cars with hand brakes that operate the rear shoes have been known to roll off down hills when the brakes cool :-X ;)

The shoes are the best option, although a pita to work with.

And my 2p... Sounds like a perfectly acceptable fix. STMO clearly doesn't know what he's talking about as the rear backing plate has no connection whatsoever to the foot brake system and its only braking link is the handbrake. The backing plate and hand brake shoe mounting is now stronger than it was ;)
