Use a riveting machine, preferably with a hydraulic drive, to push out the rivets. The push-out tool must match the diameter of the rivet. Today's rivet extractors are versatile and can be used for both tubular and semi-tubular rivets. Using the wrong device can damage the brake shoes.
If it is not possible to use a riveting tool or solid rivets need to be removed, we recommend the following steps (fig. 2).
Brake dust is enriched with fine inhalable dust and is harmful to health. Use the recommended suction power of 40 and 50 m3/h. Disassembly of the wheel brakes with the use of compressed air should be strictly avoided and cleaning of the wheel brakes with dry brushes should be avoided. It is recommended to clean with clean water without chemical additives. Cleaning agents can adversely affect the performance of the brakes.
