Park Brake Shoe Inspection

WARNING: Avoid grinding brake linings, sanding brake linings or cleaning wheel brake parts with a dry brush or with compressed air, when servicing wheel brake parts. Some models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is available commercially in order to perform this washing function. These wet methods prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
