Parking Brake Shoe: Testing and Inspection
Measure Brake Shoe Lining Thickness With Ruler
LINING THICKNESS
Measure Brake Shoe lining thickness.
Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the shoe lining.
Standard thickness: 2.0 mm (0.079 inch)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)
If the lining thickness is at the minimum thickness or less, or if there is severe, uneven wear, replace the Brake Shoe.
Inspect Parking Brake Lining And Disc Contact
PROPER CONTACT
Inspect Parking Brake lining and Disc for proper contact.
Apply chalk to the inside surface of the Disc, then grind down the Brake Shoe lining to fit. If the contact between the Disc and the Brake Shoe
lining is improper, repair it using a Brake Shoe grinder or replace the Brake Shoe assembly.

Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance.
