Brake Pad: Testing and Inspection

1. Inspect brake pads for excessive wear. If lining is worn to within 3 mm (0.125 inch) of the shoe, replace all four pad assemblies (complete set).

2. Replace any brake pads that have been contaminated with oil, grease, or brake fluid with a complete axle set. Inspect for and correct the source of the contamination.
