97rangerxlt you just made yourself look like an ass kinda cause it clearly states in the first post and the one you quoted that the heat the hot glue wouldnt stand up to the heat from the disk brakes so that there says he has a disk brake settup and im not trying to cause a war or nothin just pointing out that he did say what he has

Ok, here we go. I see many times on the site where it's obvious that the original post has not been read, which makes the reply not only pointless but also annoying.
My post was a general question, it makes no difference what vehicle I was asking about, the fact that I had four wheel disks on my b2 is irrelvent.
The lining material on top hat style parking brake shoes has no physical strength. After they have separated from the shoes they tend to rotate with the drum part of the disk once the vehicle is moving, but if they get caught on anything they just turn to dust. The parking brake will still work as long as the cables are not rusted to hell, which is highly unlikely around here.
Suggesting buying stuff online is pointless, if it has to come from the states, by the time transport, duty, taxes and brokers fees are added on you're close to the price of buying it here. Example, I bought a pair of warn manual hubs online a few years ago. 140 dollars, good deal, over 400 by the time they arrived at my door.
Whoever suggested riveting them on, it's not a bad idea but I don't know if they're thick enough to bury the rivet heads, parking brake linings are quite thin. for the record, many years ago if you bought new brake linings they used to come as a generic kit, you just cut the linings to fit and drilled and riveted them onto your existing shoes.
I'm not Canadian, I just live here.
I'm not getting my knickers in a twist, it's too cold here for that.
I think I covered everything so I'll go hitch up the dog team and mush over to McDonalds to see if they have anything edible to breakfast.
thanks for the entertaining replies guys, keep it up.

Now that I know exactly what you are working on I do have a helpful suggestion. My only reticence was because you had not specified exactly what brakes and I talked to people who think the rear shoe of a drum brake is only used for the parking brake. My concern was that you may have been trying to do something extremely dangerous.


The guy I work next to put a set of these shoes back together with super glue the other day. We were all making fun of him, but at the end of the job they did stay on. I don't know how long it would last, but it did work short term at least.

OK, so he says it's a DRUM INSIDE A DISK (drum is park, disk is service (stopping)).

WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS ON >>> A TEREX DUMP TRUCK or something >?

I can't EVER recall a dual arangement like this,.

Please do tell, what is it ?

EDIT: I only read the first page of answers... THEN when I posted, it sent me to the end of page two, (NOt realizing there was a page two) I read all of those posts as well, SO, FWIW, ignore my post, because it's moot anyhow.

My Korean wonder buggy has four wheel discs with a drum style parking brake on the drive shaft. Maybe that is what he has.

 

[the_gunslinger]

All 4 wheel disk setups have the drum in the rear disk.

I still don't think gluing a brake liner back on is a good idea. if the brake works without it and you never even use it, just leave it out for now until tou can get a proper replacment.

Content apology to my American friends. I think France may be more appropriate here.

Nope, many cars actually use the rear caliper for the parking brake, like Mustangs. I have Mustang rear discs on my '92 Ranger, and therefor have no little drum inside my disc. My Buick Park Avenue was the same way.

My 528e has the baby drums for the parking brake. Always seemed like the long way around the problem. The only time the brake is used is for the yearly safety inspection Having the pad un-bond itself is a common mode of failure.

Yeah, I realize that i did come off as a complete ass... I totally missed the disc part of the convo, and I read it three different times. This is why you don't post when you are overly tired and in a bad mood to begin with....


For Martin,

I do apologize for being a dick. I still do believe however that in your case the google search would have been a much better option than here on TRS (blasphemy, I know...)

Boy! I never thought a question about glue would go to three entertaining pages.
Thanks for posting the stomping tom video, he was a great Canadian entertainer.
As to what vehicles use the drum inside a disk parking brake, there are many. Some Toyota's, some gm's and all jeeps with four wheel disks.
Taking them out or leaving them in is a bit of an ethical dilema. If you take them out, they will definitely not work, if you leave them in they will work (if the cables are not rusted solid) but they make a slight swish, swish noise at slow speeds.
The reason I posted the question here is simple, TRS is great, the rest of the internet is crap.
Mmm crazy glue, sounds like a way for me to become one with the vehicle.
If I missed anything I'll catch up on the next post.
