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.
