Brake Arcing.

This refers to "fitting the lining to the drum. Usually the lining does

not fit the drum perfectly along the length of the shoe and "arcing" the

shoe gives the brake shoe full contact throughout its length. this is done

by either grinding the lining in a jig or the backyard method (my personal

cheap way) of bending the brake shoe slighty by blocking it up and bending

it with a hammer til the shoe fits the drum better. Other people just "wear

them in" ie let them drag and "seat themselves"
