Brake Caliper: Testing and Inspection

1. Inspect the rear wheel disc brake adapter for correct mounting and securely tightened mounting nuts.
2. Inspect the parking brake shoe and lining contact pads (where the parking brake shoe and lining rest).
^ Deep grooves in the parking brake shoe and lining contact pads could restrict movement.
^ If grooves exist, hand sand the parking brake shoe and lining contact pads.
^ If the grooves are still present after hand sanding, the rear wheel disc brake adapter must be replaced. Any attempt to remove the grooves by grinding may result in improper parking brake shoe and parking brake drum contact.
3. Inspect all other brake parts and replace any that are worn or damaged.
