INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Lining Thickness Inspection

Check thickness of lining.
Drum Inner Diameter Inspection

Check drum inner diameter.
Other Inspections

Check the following:
–Shoe for excessive wear, damage, and peeling.
–Shoe sliding surface for excessive wear and damage.
–Anti-rattle pin for excessive wear and corrosion.
–Return spring for sagging.

Check that adjuster moves smoothly.

Visually check the inside of drum for excessive wear, cracks, and damage. Check the inside of drum using
a pair of vernier calipers.

Replace with new part if malfunction is detected on the above part.
