Drum brake backing plate

Hi all, found my rear drum backing plate has groves/gouges where the shoes ride. Do I need to replace the backing plates?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Drum brake backing plate

Unless it is rotted or beaten beyond use, I would re-use it. New shoes, new wheel cylinders, and new springs are all that is needed in most drum rebuilds. If you can, you should post a picture, so we can give you a better judgement.
