INSPECTION
Brake Drum
Inspect brake drum for wear.
If limit value of drum inner diameter is exceeded or uneven or
stepped wear is excessive, replace drum.
Drum inner diameter “a”
Standard : 180 mm (7.09 in.)
Limit : 182 mm (7.17 in.)
Brake Shoe
Measure thickness of brake shoe (1) (not including backing
metal). Also, check surface of lining for hardening, excessive
wear and oil.
Brake shoe thickness
Standard : 3.9 mm (0.15 in.)
Limit : 1.0 mm (0.04 in.)
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder
for brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
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.
