Brake Wear Inspection (gear transmission model)
Brake wear is determined
by measuring the amount of exposed
threads between the reference point (a plastic ring) and the
adjustment
nut. If the visible threads measure about the thickness
of
a dime (1 mm), the brake pads have exceeded their service life and
must be replaced.
