Shoe & Lining Inspection
Inspect linings any time wheel is removed. Frequent inspections are recommended if driving conditions result in frequent brake applications. Check both ends of outboard shoe, by looking in at each end of caliper (most wear normally occurs at these points). Also check thickness of inboard lining. Replace all linings if any lining reaches the following limits:
| Application | Wear Limit |
|---|---|
| Buick | Within.020" of rivets |
| Cadillac & Oldsmobile | Approx. thickness of shoe |
| Chevrolet | Within 1/32" of shoe or rivets |
| Pontiac | .125" |
