1. For check of brake shoes it is recommended to remove the brake drum. In this case it is possible to check a condition of the working brake cylinder also. Wear of overlays of brake shoes can be checked also without removal of the brake drum through viewing openings in a brake board after removal of a cap from an opening. |
2. Using a small lamp and a mirror, through an opening in a brake board, check thickness of an overlay of a brake shoe. Even if the limit of wear was reached by only one brake shoe, surely replace all back brake shoes in a set. |
