Default Fast way to get brake pads off of the backing plates.

I’m doing a brake re-line job on a set of brakes that will be going on my 71. Rather than soaking the pads as Matt did in this write up (http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ead.php?t=1308) or grinding them as others have done I heated the backing plates up with my cutting torch, the old pad material fell off in a couple minutes. Just make sure you have plenty of ventilation this stuff is toxic.

Sounds like a great idea, I'd be curious to know if the heat would weaken the metal to where it could crack upon applying pressure. I know it's not a ton of pressure but if it were to crack it would cause problems stopping, particularly going down hill such as in my yard..Thoughts??

Earl
Doubt that it will weaken the backing plate. I’ve done the same thing to remove pad material from race car brakes in order the use the backing plates as spacers between the calipers and pads that were ½ worn. Never had a problem. You don’t need to get them all that hot in order for the glue to break down.

Lew you’re a riot. I can see you with a parachute or an anchor.

That will have no ill effect whatsoever unless you throw it in a bucket of water when it's red hot.

You know I was just thinking about how to fab up some missing break linkages but I like this better. Just tie it to the hitch and toss it off your lap when you want to stop

I got my brake pad material from McMaster yesterday. I bought the 1.5” wide material because I’m lazy and didn’t want to have to make an extra cut. Part number is 6175K813 and it is 4’ long so I have enough left over to do another set of pads. Cost was $24.79 delivered. Cut the pads on my chop saw. This stuff cuts like butter with the saw. I did make the pads a bit larger than what came off the backing plates.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
