Brake Shoe: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT 

Brake linings for:
-

Excessive wear,

-

Damage, 

-

Oil, grease or brake fluid contamination. 

If any of the above conditions exists, brake linings should be replaced.  Examine brake shoe webbing, for signs of overheating indicated by a slight
blue color. If any component exhibits signs of overheating, replace hold-down and return springs with new ones.

NOTE:  Do not attempt to replace only one set of brake shoes; they should be replaced as an axle set only to maintain equal braking forces.
