In the restoration of my 149, I had to reline the brakes. This been discussed on the forum lately, so I took the liberty of doing a write up on this. Please see the document below for a step by step proceure. Thanks to Charlie and KENtuk for the ideas... Charlie, feel free to add this to the FAQ's as you see fit...

Only one misspelled word. I've seen worse on big cooperate websites

Scott - I bet it took you longer to write that up than it takes to actually do it. I use to sandblast the backing plates after I got the old pads off.
I charged $5 per pad and they didn't beat my door down ... I sold it all to Charlie including the rivet punch. Those are a pain to do because the rivet hole has to be counter bored in the pad. I made a cutter to do that but I kept it.

Would you believe I don't have a Cub with new pads ??
