rmaynard 15,509 #39 Posted July 18, 2022 Just tap it straight with a hammer. The band will straighten more when you glue the lining to it. You should be fine. Another shameless plug for my brake linings. 3 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but at this point in my life, and at my age, I really don't want to get into a new project. One of our vendors restores used brake bands and puts my linings in them.

Take it off, get it close then put it back on and use the drum as the dolly to tap hammer it. It should end up pretty good. Then epoxy the new lining on and clamp it to the drum for the epoxy to dry. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I have installed brake band linings is to set the parking brake while the adhesive sets up, pretty much the same idea. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
