    how do i fit brake pad linings to brake shoes,i have the new pad and about 8 revit things.is there some tool i need to squeeze the revits? heads recked from them:(
    also,the old revit holes on the brake shoe are down the centre so it looks like im supose to cut the brake shoe to get the revits on.

    If your relining the shoe, then yo need more than rivets and the rivet gun. there is a glue used as well. I presume you are doing this on a truck or tractor, as relining shoes for cars is uneconimical.

    The shoes will need to be drilled and countersunk, then glued and riveted using a special riveting tool.
    Personally I'd get them done by a brake/clutch repairer.

    What car is this for? You can buy new complete shoes very cheaply so I can't see how the danger of not getting it right and the time spent trying to get the lining on properly could be worth the tiny cost saving?

    It's for a truck/tractor apparently.

    Same principle applies, and going to the popular forum makes sense for a quick answer.

    Or maybe it's a TDi Bora, I'm not so in touch with slang these days. :p

    True, but I was making the point that, on a car, its not worth the hassle/danger when comeplete shoe are so cheap to buy.
