Front

If a visual inspection does not adequately determine the condition of the lining, a physical check will be necessary. To check the amount of lining wear, remove the wheel and tire assemblies, and the calipers.

Remove the shoe and lining assemblies.

Combined shoe and lining thickness should be measured at the thinnest part of the assembly.

When a shoe and lining assembly is worn to a thickness of approximately 7.95 mm (0.313 inch) it should be replaced.

Replace both shoe assemblies (inboard and outboard) on the front wheels. It is also necessary that both front wheel shoe assembly sets be replaced, whenever shoe assemblies on either side of the vehicle require replacement.

If a shoe assembly does not require replacement, reinstall it, making sure each shoe assembly is returned to its original position.
