 Re: Brake centering tool I used a piece of flat bar bent at 90' with a slot like above and attached the end with the bend to stub axle with a jubilee clip,it rotates nicely round to check the concentric's of shoes to axle centers.

Re: Brake centering tool I use an old alternator bracket welded to a rear hub nut with a hole drilled in the base of the strap to fit one of the front drum studs. Works for both front and back and cost me sod - all.

Found a piece of stainless tube, the exact size required! Just need to weld the slotted bar on ( when I find some?)

Re: Brake centering tool Made you one last night! Stainless steel, work of art! i must cost our company a fortune!!!! Well to be honest, i found the material in the scrap bin, Ive not tried it yet, as i don't have my new brakes, but the principle of using the axle as the center to rotate the guide round seems logical. Ive slotted the bracket so theirs loads of adjustment. If you can forward your address, ill post it on. paul58@rock.com
