the backing plates are held on by the unit bearings, are you talking about the 3 12 point bolts holding the unit bearing on? you just need a 12 point 13mm socket to take those off.

Hint: if the heads are rusted or rounded a bit and the 13 is a loose fit, use a 1/2 inch 12 point socket instead. It's just enough tighter to make a difference sometimes, but not so tight you have to hammer it on hard.

I use them to slash my hands open with their razor sharp, ragged, rusted edges.
I have never, ever put a dana 30 dust shield back on

Get a real socket set then, 13mm =/= 1/2". The 1/2 is smaller, albeit just a little bit.

13m/m = 13m/m
1/2" = 12.7m/m.
There are "sister sizes" between SAE and ISO, but they're almost never exact. Knowing which one is up or down from the other can make a difference - but if you screw it up (or if the toolmaker screws it up for you,) you can end up with a lot of extra work.
I know 0.3m/m doesn't sound like much - but it can make all the difference in the world!
