Austin 7 Restoration - New Brake Linings And Brake Spring Removal Tool

Today we are fitting new brake linings in the Austin 7 restoration and using a brake spring removal tool to do this without removing the wheel hubs. The new brake linings are riveted to the brake shoes. To remove the brake shoe springs without the spring removal tool is very challenging and probably even more difficult to put the springs back in without the brake tool. We found the website below and made our own tool to get the job done a whole lot easier.

The tool we made to remove the brake springs is credited to the Bristol Austin 7 Club who have a great article on the brake removal tool and how to make one in the link below.
