4.3.19. Check of degree of wear of brake shoes, disks and drums

It will be required to you: caliper or ruler.

Note
If when braking the car takes away aside or extraneous noise is heard, check a condition of brake shoes.

1. Install the car on the elevator or a jack (supports).
2. Remove a forward wheel.
3. Check through an opening in the case of a brake bracket a condition of blocks. If thickness of frictional overlays of less admissible (tab. 4.4), replace brake shoes (see. "Replacement of brake shoes of the brake mechanism of a forward wheel").

Table 4.4 Sizes of brake shoes, disks and drums, mm

4. Measure thickness of a brake disk. If its thickness of less admissible (see tab. 4.4), replace a brake disk (see. "Replacement of a brake disk").

Note
On cars with disk back brake mechanisms similarly check degree of wear of brake shoes and a brake disk of the back brake mechanism.

5. For check of degree of wear of brake shoes of the back brake mechanism remove a back wheel and the brake drum (see. "Removal and installation of the brake drum").
6. Measure thickness of a frictional slip together with the basis. If thickness of less admissible (see tab. 4.4), replace blocks (see. "Replacement of brake shoes of the back brake mechanism").

Note
Replace blocks in the following cases:
– thickness of frictional slips is less than 1,5 mm;
– the surface of slips is greasy;
– slips are unsteadily connected to the basis.

7. Measure diameter of a working surface of the brake drum. If it is more admissible (see tab. 4.4), replace a drum (see. "Replacement of the brake drum").

Note
The most admissible working diameter of the brake drum выштампован on its inside.
