Brake Linings
DANGER
Before measuring the brake linings, set
the parking brakes, place the transmission
in neutral and block the wheels. Failure
to do so can result in unexpected vehicle
movement and can cause serious personal
injury or death.
Measure the brake lining thickness. If the
brakes are equipped with backing plates,
measure through the inspection holes in the
plate. Reline the brake shoes if the lining
thickness is 1/4 in. (6 mm) or less at the
middle of the shoe.
Check the brake drums for any visible cracks
or signs of oil or grease.
