Re: [T3] Brake Shoe Relining (was 63 Wheel cylinders needed!)


The $200 (CNDN) price tag was mostly labour.  This guy figured it would take
him 1+ hrs per cylinder.  Does that sound nuts?  I don't really know.  Geoff
at Peterson's VW is bringing me an NOS one next weekend at the Victoria
Show. $70 CNDN so I might as well go this route.

As far as the silicon-soaked brake shoe goes I used a product called TUMBLER
that is an automotive paint pre-pre silicon remover.  It worked like a
charm, thanks for the suggestion!
