Everywhere I go or call they tell me that they can't get or don't have a reline kit. I live in North Alabama

I have mine re-lined, riveted too at local brake wholesaler/dealer in my area. Seems like $30 last time, but been awhile. Used ones usually have grease all over them, don't hold well. Did you try to adjust first? There are two or three places to do that, check with feeler for clearance. Shows this in manual.

They have a web site so you can find a store close to you. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 9 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 9 | I did call FleetPride they are about 5 miles from me they said they didn't have the kit. I think I still should go there in person and show them what it is I am needing. My Pops works in Birmingham I gave him the shoes he said he would stop by Birmingham Brake And Clutch next week if no luck I'll head to FleetPride. Thanks and I will keep you posted.

You might be able to bring the shoes right in and they should be able to match it up. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 587 | Fort Wayne, IN has Brake Materials and Parts Sherman Blvd. 260-426-3331 ask for Scott Bethke. They have the metal bands w/out lineing hanging by a shelf if needed, will re-line yours if you send in. Gotta be someone like that down your way!!
