(a) Using a brake drum gauge or an equivalent tool, measure the inside diameter of the disc.

Standard inside diameter of a new disc:

190 mm (7.48 in.)

Maximum inside diameter:

191 mm (7.52 in.)

If the inside diameter is more than the maximum, replace the rear disc.

(a) Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the parking brake shoe lining.

Standard thickness:

2.45 mm (0.0965 in.)

Minimum thickness:

1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

If the lining thickness is less than the minimum, or if there is severe or uneven wear, replace the parking brake shoe assembly.

NOTICE:

(a) Apply chalk to the inside surface of the disc, then grind down the brake shoe lining to fit the disc.

If the contact between the disc and the brake shoe lining is incorrect, repair it using a brake shoe grinder or replace the parking brake shoe assembly.
