Cleaning and Inspection
BRAKE PAD LINING WEAR
If a visual inspection does not adequately determine the condition of the front disc brake shoe lining, a physical check will be necessary. To check
the amount of brake shoe lining wear, remove the wheel and tire assemblies, and the calipers.
Remove the front brake shoes.
Combined front brake shoe thickness should be measured at the thinnest part of the assembly.
When a set of brake shoes are worn to a total thickness of approximately 9.0 mm (3/8 inch) they should be replaced.
Replace both brake shoes (inboard and outboard) on both front sides of the vehicle.
If the front disc brake shoes do not require replacement, reinstall, the brake shoes making sure each brake shoe is returned to the original position
on the vehicle it was removed from.
