Removing excess powder coating from Brake Hub

<< < (3/3)

Johnwebley:
I found after market shoes are to wide at the pivot end,


I normally use a file to remove some alloy so the double washer and split pins fit,

Just care needed to get the shoes to fit square

Do you just file it from the top John or file a tad off either end?

Johnwebley:
Only the pivot hole,

I took 0.5mm from both sides of the shoes

 On the plus side the new tool will come in handy for quite a few other jobs in the garage.

Use mine all the time Ted eg wire brush for cleaning up threads. Flexible drive shaft makes it easy to access tight areas and do fine work. The metal cutting discs you can get are great for quick jobs and much has been written about the plastic  polishing wheels recommended initially by Ken. You won’t regret getting one.
