    1. Using a brake drum gauge or equivalent, measure the inside diameter of the drum.

      Standard inside diameter
      200.0 mm (7.874 in.)
      Maximum inside diameter
      201.0 mm (7.913 in.)

      If the inside diameter is greater than the maximum, replace the brake drum.

  2. CHECK BRAKE SHOE LINING THICKNESS

    1. Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the shoe lining.

      Standard thickness
      4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
      Minimum thickness
      1.0 mm (0.039 in.)

      If the lining thickness is less than the minimum, or if there is any severe or uneven wear, replace the brake shoe.

      Tech Tips

      If a brake shoe needs replacing, all the brake shoes must be replaced as a set.

  3. CHECK BRAKE DRUM AND BRAKE SHOE LINING FOR PROPER CONTACT
