broken matco brake pad questions
Hello,
I have a broken brake pad.
So Matco doesn't sell lined plates?
Only re-line kits?
Then what kind of press do I
need for the rivets?
Matco's website does not have a
lot of info, in my opinion, so
input please.
Thanks!
John

Is it as simple as buying something like this?

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.
I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

Yes it is.
EAA has a video on line that steps you through the process.
Very easy once you do a couple.

Also, Matco has a reline service they call Swiftline. I think it works like Netflix for brake linings.
It's easy to DIY with the tool, I always keep a spare set of linings in inventory.

Re: broken matco brake pad questions
I hadn't thought to check the EAA website.
Not much on YouTube about it.
Thanks!

Re: broken matco brake pad questions
As a follow up, I bought
the Rapco tool as pictured
above. It worked like a
champ! I like it because
it requires no hammering
on somewhat fragile brake
shoes.
I had Lima Charlie back
in the air Friday evening.
Be safe!

Sounds good, have fun.
Good choice, I've broken a pad using my hammer-tool.I like it because
it requires no hammering
on somewhat fragile brake
shoes.

The Rapco Brake Rivet Tool RA-825 is Aircraft Spruce part #10-02065 (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/t ... oBrake.php).Johnny C! wrote:Jak is getting the part number for the pads, and I am going to order this one.
Per Matco, the Reline Kit for 2 calipers is WHLBRL-1 (http://www.matcomfg.com/BRAKERELINEKIT-idv-3485-12.html). That's AS Part # 06-00571 (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/l ... NEKITS.php).
The Swiftline Kit is SWFT-1E (http://www.matcomfg.com/SwiftLineKitfor ... 23-12.html).
If you have dual calipers, each kit will do one side.
