Has anyone re lined their own
brakes mine are glued no rivets

I took mine to local powertrain company.

I reglued some drum shoes on a forklift with JB Weld.

Worked, still holding I assume.

But I would never try that on anything but off road equipment.

I wonder if you had the lining you could drill holes for the rivets? Stan

Reglued the shoes on the implement trailer probably 10 or more years ago and still holding, lots of miles later.

I have relined several. But they were all riveted not bonded.

I've relined hundreds of brake bands for cranes, and a handful of them for other applications, but they were all riveted. The riveted ones are not a problem if you have a way to counter bore the lining, and flare the end of the rivet.

When it comes to the bonded lining, I'd suggest sending your brakes to somewhere like Ceco Friction Products. I've used them over the years to do anything I couldn't handle, from bonded lining, to making new brake bands, to lining the odd ball clutch disc in my old forklift.

In the end I'll put it this way. When it comes to anything brake related, it's not worth taking the chance to do it yourself , when it's your life, or someone else's life, that may be put at risk if the repair fails.
