Brake Shoe

Measure thickness of brake shoe (1). Also, check surface of lining for hardening, excessive wear and oil.

Brake shoe thickness (lining + shoe rim) 

Standard: 6.1 mm (0.24 in.) 

Limit: 2.6 mm (0.10 in.) 

CAUTION: Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be deposited in lining and may damage drum. When it is required to correct lining, replace it with a new one.
