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.
