That darned plastic!
Mine's wearing down as well and scouring my aluminum hub! The alt brake pad did the same thing. I sanded down the aluminum burrs, followed by steel wool and then polishing compound and a buffer wheel on my dremel, but there are serious GOUGES in there that can't be fixed. I'm going to cut the brake like John did, put a softer brake pad in (teflon rod perhaps), and then hopefully just rotate the hub 180 degrees once I'm sure all is fixed.
What a pain... - j
