Brake Drum: Testing and Inspection

NOTE:  Pulsation in the brake pedal is usually corrected by servicing the front brakes. Service the rear brakes only if the problem persists.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

^

When brake drums are removed, thoroughly clean and inspect them for cracks, scores, deep grooves out-of-round and taper.

^

Normal light scoring of the brake drum surfaces not exceeding 0.51 mm (0.020 inch) in depth will not affect brake operation.
