Brake shoes
Checking of t he brake shoes wear may be pe rformed also without dismounting t he brake
drums.
In this purpose:-lift the vehicle by means of a two-column elevator;
- dismount the rubber protector of the visiting window from the brake plate;
- check by visual inspection the condition of the brake shoes wear.
If a serious wear is established, perform the brake shoes replacement (see the corresponding
paragraph).
