95 pathfinder rear disc "baffle plate" rusted out

[in2challenges]

Just joined post. Fixing up 95 pathfinder.

 

Any tips on replacing rusted out brake shields/baffle plates? Service manual suggests that you have to press the axle out of the outer bearings before you can replace the plate.

 

Has anyone done this repair?

 

Is the axle fairly easy to press out with a 20 ton press?

 

Also, how difficult is it to remove the lock nut that keeps the outer wheel bearings in the bearing carrier? Is the special Nissan tool a must for this?

Gotta do it - it won't pass the safety inspection with them like that.
