Take them to a brake shop near you.

Yes, a bonding oven to heat the glue will cause it to release. Done it many times.

You only need to get them hot enough for the glue to let go. I use an LPG torch but have used oxy gear many time too. Just heat then gently while prying the linings with a screw driver or spatula.

[B]For the few bucks involved I would indeed take them to a brake shop ! Likely the most important part on your car !

Few bucks! I was quoted $17 PER shoe to get them removed. We no longer accept bonded shes as cores. Frankly with the potential of harm to myself and the environment because of unknown material, I am not going to do this job myself.

If you have trouble locating a brake shop, use the yellow pages to find a place that re-lines truck clutches and brakes. They will do it. Thankfully there is such a place in Ft Worth
