Fig. 4 Measuring Brake Shoe Lining Thickness
LINING THICKNESS
1. Using a ruler, measure the shoe lining thickness.
-
Standard thickness: 5.5 mm (0.217 inch)
-
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)
2. If the shoe lining is less than the minimum, or shows signs of uneven wear, replace the brake shoes.
NOTE: If any of the brake shoes have to be replaced, replace all of the rear brake shoes in order to maintain even braking.
3. Inspect brake lining and drum for proper contact.
NOTE: If the contact between the brake lining and drum is improper, repair the lining with a brake shoe grinder, or replace the brake shoe
assembly.
