Sparky-(Admin) 19,648 #1 Posted September 8, 2019 What the heck kinda WH do-dad is this?? Used my Work Horse yesterday and noticed reduced braking. Finished up the landscape project, got it home, washed it off and found the brake lining had separated from the brake band. It was in crummy shape so re-adhering it was not an option. Just so happens that while at the 2017 or 2018 WH show I bought a new brake lining off our very own beloved Bob Maynard @rmaynard ...didn’t need one at the time but I like supporting our RS members when I can. Well today that purchase is paying off! Followed Bobs instructions, went with the Goop brand adhesive, warmed up the brake band with a hairdryer to increase flexibility and clothespins to hold it while it sets up. 9 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have used "Loctite Power Grab Ultimate" with good results. I bolt the cleaned brake backing into place on the , apply the Loctite to the lining and slip it into the backing then connect the brake rod, set the parking brake and adjust the rod. Doing this assures equal pressure on the lining and once it sets you are done. 4 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Docwheelhorse 2,561 #13 Posted September 8, 2019 Another trick is to clean the original as best as you can, coat in red rtv (oil resustant) and set parking brake like others have said. Its worked several times for me Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,648 #22 Posted September 13, 2019 So I’m back in Connecticut, time to finish up the brake job. Installed, tested, adjusted and tested again and WHAM! This sucker stops on a dime!
