RENOVATING BRAKE LININGS
Brakes that squeak are not necessarily in need of relining. The noise is often due to dirt aud grit imbedbed in the brake lining and can be removed by scrubbing tire lining with petrol' or kerosene and a wire brush. However, some brake linings, which have been neglected for a long time aud consequently have the surface glazed and impregnated with grit, cannot be thoroughly cleaned in this way, and it is necessary to apply dressing. A large service station uses a mixture of powdered resih and castor oil with satisfactory results. The rivet heads holding the lining should be below the surface so that they will not touch the drum. It may be ncotssary to use a punch and hammer to set the rivets back. If new rivets are needed use only copper or aluminium rivets.
