Filing your brakes
“External brakes that have become scored and grooved through long use often can be put back into shape with a coarse file. Jack up one wheel and remove the brake bands. Then, with the gear shift lever in high and the motor running a trifle faster than ordinary idling speed, apply the file (a twelve-inch fender file preferred) to the spinning drum in a manner shown in the picture above. Sandpaper and steel wool can be used for the finishing touches.” Page 76.

Question: If you jack up one wheel and then put the transmission in high, with the other wheel still in contact with the ground, doesn't that mean you might then have a bigger problem than worn brakes?
