Brake Shoe: Service and Repair

1. Remove the brake drum.
2. Measure the wear of the brake lining at the place worn the most.

Limit: 1.0 mm (0.039 inch)

Replace the shoe and lining assembly if any location of the brake lining thickness is less than the limit. For information concerning the procedures for installation of the shoe and lining assembly refer to Brake Pad Replacement.

CAUTION:
1. Whenever the shoe and lining assembly is replaced, replace both RH and LH assemblies as a set to prevent the car from pulling to one side when braking.
2. If there is a significant difference in the thicknesses of the shoe and lining assemblies on the left and right sides, check the sliding condition of the wheel cylinder piston.
