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.
Brake Drum
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately measure
the brake drum. Refer to
Tires and Wheels
section for information on removing the wheel.
The service limit for the inside diameter of the brake drum is
6.330 inches.
If the brake drum is grooved or worn beyond the service limit
then the brake drum must be replaced.
Measure the inside diameter of the brake drum in 3-places.
If the difference between any of the measurements exceeds
0.010-inches then the brake drum must be replaced.

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 brake drum that is worn beyond its
service limits. A drum worn beyond its service limits
could fail and cause loss of brakes resulting in severe
bodily injury and/or property damage.
