5C-8 PARKING AND REAR BRAKE
Cracked, Scored, or Grooved Drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause
excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be necessary to re-
surface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum should
be polished with fine emery cloth but should no be turned.
NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder for
brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
Brake shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
Thickness "a"
Standard:
Service limit: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be replaced
at the same time.
CAUTION:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished with
sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be deposited in
lining and may damage drum. When it is required to correct
lining, replace it with a new one.
