Instructions for

Trade/Resale Lining

Thickness Inspection

erify the width of the brake shoe to be inspected and identify the appropriate

gauge tip to be used for this inspection.

With the brake not applied,

place the appropriate tip of the gauge between the

two lining blocks,

between the top of the shoe table and drum.

Use the gauge

to scrape away any mud,

rust,

or other contaminants that could interfere with

proper lining measurement.

Remove the gauge from the brake.

With the vehicle’

s brakes applied,

y to put the appropriate end of gauge

between the two lining blocks and the top of the shoe table.

Note

“hook”

gauge allows insertion around worn drum lip.

If the tip of the gauge will not fi

between the brake drum and the top of the shoe table,

the lining is worn below

trade/resale limits and will need to be replaced.

If the tip of the gauge fi

ts between the brake drum and the shoe table,

the

lining is not worn below trade/resale limits at this time.

Because brake shoes can wear at different rates,

check both shoes on each

brake and all brakes on the vehicle.
