1. INSPECT BRAKE DRUM INSIDE DIAMETER
(a) Using a brake drum gauge or equivalent, measure the inside diameter of the drum.
Standard inside diameter: 254.0 mm (10.00 in.) Maximum inside diameter: 256.0 mm (10.08 in.)
2. INSPECT REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOE LINING THICKNESS
(a) Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the shoe lining.
Standard thickness: 5.0 mm (0.197 in.) Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
HINT: If the lining thickness is at the minimum thickness or less, or if there is severe, uneven wear, replace the brake shoe.
3. INSPECT BRAKE DRUM AND REAR DRUM BRAKE SHOE LINING FOR PROPER CONTACT
(a) Apply chalk to the inside surface of the drum, then grind drum on the brake shoe lining to fit.
