How we work
Relining and drum skimming, step by step
The steps our technicians follow for every job.
Brake and clutch relining
New friction material fitted to your existing brake shoes and clutch plates, for trucks, trailers, buses, pickups and heavy equipment.
- Brake shoes
- Trucks, trailers, buses, 4x4s
- Clutch plates
- Light and heavy vehicles
Strip the old lining
Worn linings are removed by drilling out the rivets or stripping bonded material, without damaging the shoe or plate.
Clean and inspect
The shoe or plate is cleaned and checked for cracks, distortion and worn pivot or rivet holes. Damaged parts are reported to you before we continue.
Fit new friction material
New brake liner is cut and riveted or bonded to the shoe. For clutches, new facings are riveted to the plate on both sides.
Grind to size
Brake linings are ground to match the drum diameter so the shoe makes full contact from the first stop. Edges are chamfered to reduce noise.
Final check
We check lining thickness and rivet seating, and check clutch plates for run-out, before the part is handed back ready to fit.
Brake drum skimming
Scored, oval or glazed drums machined true again, so new linings bed in properly and braking stays even.

- New linings ground to match
Measure the drum
We measure the inner diameter and compare it with the maximum size marked on the drum. If skimming would take it past that limit, we tell you it needs replacing.
Mount and centre
The drum is mounted on the brake lathe and centred so it runs true.
Skim the surface
Light cuts remove scoring, ovality and hard spots until the braking surface is clean all the way round.
Re-measure
The finished diameter is checked again to confirm the drum is still within its safe limit.
Match the linings
Relined shoes are ground to the new drum size, so drum and shoes leave our workshop as a matched set.
Signs your brakes need attention
Worn linings deteriorate quickly on loaded vehicles. Bring the vehicle in if you notice any of these.
- Grinding or squealing when braking
- The vehicle pulling to one side
- Longer stopping distances
- Vibration through the pedal
- Clutch slipping or judder when pulling away
