Brake Lining Inspection

1. Inspect pad lining for wear. Replace riveted lining if worn to within 1/16 of rivet heads. Replace bonded lining if thickness is 3/16 or less.
2. If pads are to be reused, do not intermix them. Keep pads with the caliper they were removed from.
3. Inspect caliper area for signs of fluid leaks or damage.
