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.
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
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.
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.
