semi trailer brake shoes

**sollozo45** · 04-17-2013, 01:35 AM

A freind of mine told me that he would sell semi-trailer brake shoe cores to a guy for $5 each. Well that guy doesnt come around anymore and we have a small pallet full of them. Does anyone have any information on some company that buys them as cores? Thanks.

Unless they are buying OEM brake shoes, I have always been charged a core charge for those brake shoes and take them back to where I got them from for the core charge. As far as core buyers I have no idea.

You need a place that replaces the shoes, might be hard to find these days, but worth a look i suppose

I never considered re manufacturing brake pads. Is there a market for a typical cars brake pads? Other than scrap?

I once did some hotshot truck parts delivery, and sometimes would take shoes by a shop, and wait while they put new pads on them. They had machines that popped the old rivets off, and put new pads, and new rivets in
