hello again- took my reverse band out because reverse did not work well with pedal to floor and lever in a good neutral. despite title of senior , iam inexperienced. when i got band out and inspected it and measured thickness between 1/8 and 5/16 and wear looked even.
ques: at what thickness should lining be replaced? i m thinking of putting same band in without relining.

ques 2: the hogshead was not removed, and I noticed that band removal would have been easier with pedals removed. so, any tips on getting pins out?
thank you
 
Don't remove pedals. If you do not have jiffy bands (bands with removable ears) you should take the hogs head off. The thickness of your bands is OK.
 
Reverse and brake pedals come out of the hogshead once the nut,washer, and spring are removed. Don't drop them into the black abyss. The low pedal cannot be removed without removing the pins.
 
The thickness or wear pattern didn't matter on my "T". The reverse was "grabby"on my car. I tried adjusting it to no avail. Replaced them and that fixed it. My old cotton linings where so old that they where hard. I used Kevlar bands and couldn't be happier.
