Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Lining Inspection

Inspect the linings every 6,000 miles and any time the wheels are removed (tire rotation, etc.). Inspect the shoe and lining assemblies for wear by removing the brake drums. Replace shoe and lining assemblies when the thickness of any lining is worn to within 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) of the shoe. Replace riveted shoe and lining assemblies when the lining is worn to within 0.76 mm (0.030 inch) of any rivet head. Always replace shoe and lining assemblies as a complete axle set.
