Each brake shoe is washed with water at 50 psi at 195ºF with large nozzles that remove all of the oil and grease with a BMS Washing Machine, the industry standard. The brake shoe is then visably clean, hot and ready for removing the lining.

The worn down lining must be removed from the shoe. The lining is held on to the steel brake shoe with locked steel rivets. The rivets are removed with BMS Auto Deliners by punching through the rolled down clinch of the rivet and then push the rivet body out of the table of the brake shoe and lining without causing table damage that often occurs with other de-lining methods.

The steel brake shoe is shot blasted with millions of steel balls moving at 150 mph to remove all paint, scale and rust so that the brake shoe is down to bare steel and has proper surface for paint to adhere.

The BMS Fully Automatic Prep - Paint - Dry Process provides consistently clean brake shoes in only a fraction of the time from start to finish meaning a better looking and longer lasting product that ECBR can confidently sell to their customers.

All brake shoes are checked for stretch, compression, anchor pin looseness and cam roller looseness. These brake shoes will be brought back to OEM specifications (with the exception of compressed shoes) with our EATON Brake Shoe Straightening Machine. During the correction process the gauge monitors the span of the shoe to avoid over bending. ALL Rejects are then disposed of.

Finally BMS hydraulic riveters are used to install the new brake lining to the brake shoe. These hydraulic machines compensate for variances in the thickness of the brake shoes, lining & rivets and eliminates any loose lining. Premium steel rivets are then used to give the most secure and reliable fastening solution in the truck brake industry. The rivets completely remove all rivet collapse and tube split in the process, which means higher quality for our customers.
