PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

  1. INSPECT BRAKE DISC INSIDE DIAMETER

    1. F006409

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

      Standard inside diameter

      210 mm (8.27 in.)

      Maximum inside diameter

      211 mm (8.31 in.)

      If the inside diameter is more than the maximum, replace the disc.

  2. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SHOE LINING THICKNESS

    1. BR05332

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

      Standard thickness

      4.0 mm (0.157 in.)

      Minimum thickness

      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

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

  3. CHECK BRAKE DISC AND PARKING BRAKE SHOE LINING FOR PROPER CONTACT

    1. BR00828

      Apply chalk to the inside surface of the disc. Rub the brake shoe lining against the disc and check that full contact is achieved between the brake shoe and disc (chalk is transferred to the entire brake shoe lining).

      If the contact between the brake disc and the shoe lining is improper, make adjustments it using a brake shoe grinder or replace the brake shoe assembly.
