SS5-36, SS5-46 and MX-600 Rear Brakes

The rear brakes are mechanical, auto adjusting, drum brakes and require no periodic
adjustments to ensure safe operation. Servicing of these brakes consists of replacing
the brake drum and brake shoes when they become worn.
In this section, we will cover how to inspect and replace the brake drum and shoes.
Wear Limit:
Brake Shoes-
Measure the brake shoe at various locations. It should be thicker than 1/16" at
its thinnest point. If you measure 1/16" or less at any given point the shoes
must be replaced.
Brake Drum-
The brake drum should be replaced if it is scored or damaged. The presence of
grooves or damage on the inside diameter of the drum can effect the braking
capabilities of the vehicle.
