INSPECTION
At a reasonably frequent interval, the brake system
should be inspected for pedal reserve, which is the
clearance between the pedal pad and the fioorpan.
Inspection should be made with the brake pedal firmly
depressed while the brakes are cold. Pedal reserve on
manual brake vehicles is usually not less than 2-1/4". On
power brake-equipped vehicles, the pedal reserve is
usually not less than
1
-
1
/
2
".
NOTE: Heat generated by high speed stops
will expand brake drums and increase shoe
clearance, thereby permitting the pedal pad
to go closer to the fioorpan than when the
brakes are cold.
Brake shoe linings should not be permitted to wear down
until rivets or shoes contact drums because the drums
could be scored. As the vehicle mileage approaches the
point where relining may be required it is advisable to
remove one or more drums for inspection of linings in
order to avoid the possibility of damaging brake drums.
