Rebel, not many people "reline" the old brake shoes anymore. It is much cheaper to reline, especially if you don't count your time as money. Knocking out the old rivets is easy. I open a vise about two inches and let the shoe sit over the opening. Use a center punch to knock out the rivets. That goes pretty fast. The problem is bradding the rivets. If you can find a brake rivet press the job takes minutes, but if you do it by hand it will take some patience and time. It is not a hard job and when bradding the rivets by hand a second set of hands is really needed.
