How to remove backing plate
I've goofed somehow....
Unable to get my backing plate off my PC 3424xp.
My wrench will not allow the backing plate to turn due to the screws rubbing against the wrench.
I'm guessing I didn't put the washer on before installing the backing plate..... so, what can I do??!!

Re: How to remove backing plate
How hard have you tried to turn the backing plate? Usually there's some compliance in there somewhere (flexibility of the plate, end play in the bearings). You could also try grinding the wrench down a little.

What screws are you talking about? Do you mean the rivets on the backing plate?

I guess that's what they are. Hard to see, but, yes, they are on the top of the backing plate. No way to hold the nut while trying to turn the backing plate in order to remove it.
Hope I'm making sense....

The wrench is not holding the shaft? If the wrench is holding the shaft (nut) I don't see how the backing plate can free wheel.

^ also to add, make sure wrench is secure on the bolt as pictured below where it says ' backing plate is inserted here ' and you should be able to turn/twist the backing plate off...
