Re: [FWDLK] Parking Brake Adjustment

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was also a thread, here, or over on the FWDLK website, about how 
best to re-contaminate contaminated
brake shoes.

Fearless Leader has said that a simple burning of the shoes (with the 
shoes removed from the car) via lighter fluid,
etc, will effectively clean them . Brent Burger says that he's 
double-boiler boiled the crap from shoe linings.

Also, synthetic rear end lube should not be used on our cars (or, even 
on the new-ones, according to a friend's
dealer, on his 300 Heritage model) as it works too well, and escapes 
thru seals and gets onto the brakes, which,
on our cars, causes the rear wheels to lock up.
