MEASURE BRAKE SHOE LINING THICKNESS
Using a ruler, measure the thickness of the shoe lining.
Standard thickness: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Minimum thickness: 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
If the lining thickness is at the minimum thickness or less, or if
there is severe, uneven wear, replace the brake shoe.

disc.
Standard inside diameter: 170 mm (6.69 in.)

the brake shoe lining is improper, repair it using a brake shoe
grinder or replace the brake shoe assembly.
