A: INSPECTION
1. REAR DRUM BRAKE
1) Remove the brake drum, and check that there is
no fluid leakage from wheel cylinder.
If there is fluid leakage from wheel cylinder, inspect
the wheel cylinder, and then repair or replace it.
2) Inspect the brake shoes for damage or deformi-
ties and check brake linings for wear.
CAUTION:
 Always replace both leading and trailing
brake shoes for the right and left wheels at the
same time.
 When either the right and left brake assembly
is replaced, always replace the leading shoe
and trailing shoe of the other.
Thickness of lining (except back metal)
Standard value: 4.1 mm (0.161 in)
Service limit: 1.5 mm (0.059 in)
3) Check the brake drum for wear, dents or other
damage.
If the inside surface of brake drum is streaked, cor-
rect the surface with emery cloth (#200 or more). If
it is unevenly worn, tapered or the outside surface
of brake drum is damaged, correct or replace it.
Brake drum inner diameter
Standard value: 228.6 mm (9.000 in)

both sides of the rear brake at the same time by re-
moving the disk rotor.
1) Inspect the brake shoes for damage or deforma-
tion and check brake linings for wear.

1. PREPARATION FOR THE INSPECTION
MODE
1) Check battery voltage is more than 12 V and fuel
remains half [20 — 402 (5.3 — 10.6 US gal, 4.4 —
8.8 Imp gal)].
2) Lift-up the vehicle using a garage jack and place
it on rigid racks or drive the vehicle onto free rollers.
WARNING:
 Before lifting-up the vehicle, ensure parking
brakes are applied.
 Do not use a pantograph jack in place of a rig-
id rack.
 Secure a rope or wire to the front or rear tow-
ing hooks to prevent the lateral runout of front
wheels.
 Do not abruptly depress/release clutch pedal
or accelerator pedal during works even when
the engine is operating at low speeds since this
may cause vehicle to jump off free rollers.
 In order to prevent the vehicle from slipping
due to vibration, do not place any wooden
blocks or similar items between the rigid racks
and the vehicle.
 Since the rear wheels will also rotate, do not
place anything near them. Also, make sure that
nobody goes in front of the vehicle.
