Rear Brake Shoes
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately
measure the brake shoes. Refer to Tires and
Wheels section for information on removing
the wheel.
Measure the brake shoe lining at the thinnest point on
the shoe. If this is 1/16-inch or less then the brake shoe
must be replaced.
NOTE:
If this is a riveted lining, then the measurement
must be to the top of the rivets.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side brake
shoes as a set.
Current Taylor-Dunn

brakes are asbestos
free. However, there is the possibility that
the original brakes were replaced with
aftermarket parts containing asbestos.
Since this possibility exists, all brake parts
should be handled as if they contain
asbestos. Refer to Appendix C for
recommended handling precautions.
Front Disc Brake Rotor
NOTE: The front brake rotor is an integral part of the
front hub. If the brake rotor is worn beyond
its service limits, then the front hub must be
replaced. Refer to
Front Axle Service
for
information on replacing the front hub.
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately
measure the rotor thickness. Refer to
Tires
and Wheels
section for information on
removing the wheel.
1. Measure the run out of the rotor at its maximum
diameter. If the run out exceeds 0.005, then the
rotor must be machined. Do not machine the rotor
beyond its service limits.
2. Measure the thickness of the brake rotor in 3
places. If the brake rotor thickness is less than
0.20-inches, then the rotor must be replaced.
Front Disc Brake Pads
NOTE: The brake pad must be removed to accurately
measure the lining thickness. Refer to
Replace the Front Pads section for
information on removing the brake pads.
Measure the brake pad lining at the thinnest point on the
pad. If the brake pad lining is 1/16-inch or less then the
brake pad must be replaced.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side brake
pads as a set.

brakes are asbestos
free. However, there is the possibility that
the original brakes were replaced with
aftermarket parts containing asbestos.
Since this possibility exists, all brake parts
should be handled as if they contain
asbestos. Refer to Appendix C for
recommended handling precautions.
Do not use a rotor that is worn beyond its
service limits. A rotor worn beyond its
service limits could fail and cause loss of
brakes resulting in severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
