I just bought a 97 celica. I took of the drums to see if it needs to pad,s and I find that there is fluid everywhere(explains the crappy stopping) Anyway, I had my fiance push the brake and fluid squirts out of the cylinder device that pushes the shoes against the drum. THis is on both sides. I had her do it while I looked at the brake fluid in the engine bay, and it lowered everytime. My question is, cna i just go some where and buy a replacement, or do I have to buy the whole backing plate? If I do have to buy the backing plates, let me know if you have them cause I need them

Thanks,
Jeremy

You can buy that separate. There are a couple of bolts on the backside holding it in I believe...
