[TR] Grilling brake shoes - TR2

[David Brister]

Many years ago when my friends and I were penniless engineering apprentices interested only in motor bikes and girls
we frequently found ourselves with oil or grease sodden brake shoes. We would soak them in petrol and paraffin and then light it. 
You could see the grease oozing out and burning in little bubbles. This treatment would be given two or three times and the 
brake linings cleaned and roughed up with a file (no worries about asbestos in those days) then reassembled.
ISTR this worked very well. Of course in those days linings were made made mainly of asbestos. Whether modern products 
can stand that heat without damage I don’t know.

Of course YMMV,
