Measurement of brake shoes of the drum mechanism

The viewing opening for control of thickness of overlays of the back drum brake mechanism is located in a guard of the drum brake mechanism in front in the direction of the movement. At uncovered are visible a brake shoe (1) with the frictional brake slip pasted on it (2). The brake drum (3) is also visible.

As the active block wears out quicker back passive, thickness should be measured on a forward block.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. To lift the car behind.
  2. To remove a plastic cap on inside of the corresponding wheel in front on a guard of the drum brake mechanism.
  3. To light a pocket small lamp in a viewing opening, to establish block thickness.
  4. Wear of blocks is admissible to 2,5 mm of residual thickness – without carrier thickness. Otherwise they need to be changed.
