Okay, I went and bought a propane torch in preparation to disassemble the as-delivered “assembled at the factory with Red Loctite” backing plates. I figured I first try it by hand and ... they came right apart.
The thicker backing plate looks like it works well with no rotor contact. I’ll mock up the caliper, take it all apart and torque/apply loctite, and we’ll be ready to go.
