Brakes - depth
I am trying to figure out the status of my brake shoes. However, I am not sure what the measurement should be on the depth / thickness of the brake shoes. What is the new dimension for a brake shoe and at what thickness/ depth should they be replaced? I have a micrometer to measure them. Do you measure 1 point or multiple points?
Thanks as always Bob Last edited by flybob08; 09-07-2021 at 12:36 AM. |

Re: Brakes - depth
When the lining wears down to just above the rivet heads, change them.

Yep, about 1/32-1/16" above the rivet heads or thickness if bonded at the thinest spot..
