1. Clean the brake shoe lining contact surface of the brake drum with denatured alcohol or an equivalent
brake cleaner.
2. Using a brake drum micrometer calibrated in thousands of an inch, measure and record the largest
diameter of the brake drum at 4 or more points, equally spaced around the drum.
Ensure that the measurements are only taken within the brake shoe lining contact area and that the
micrometer is positioned the same distance from the outside edge of the drum for each measurement.
Specification
4. If the largest diameter measurement of the brake drum is less than the maximum allowable diameter, the
drum may be able to be resurfaced, depending upon surface and wear conditions which may be present.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
BRAKE SHOE INSPECTION
Inspect the linings every 9 650 km (6, 000 mi) and any time the wheels are removed (tire rotation, etc.). Inspect
the lining for wear by removing the plug and using the inspection hole. Replace the shoe and lining assemblies
when the thickness of any lining is worn within 0.72 mm (0.030 in) of the shoe. Replace riveted shoe and lining
assemblies when the lining is worn to within 0.76 mm (0.030 in) of any rivet head. Always replace shoe and
lining assemblies as a complete axle set.

1. The brake drums do not require refinishing as part of routine brake system service. Do not refinish brake
drums in an attempt to correct the following conditions:
l Brake system noise (squeal, growl, groan)
l Scoring of the brake drum surface (less than the maximum allowable specification)
l Scoring of the brake drum surface (in excess of the maximum allowable specification)
3. Inspect each of the brake drums and determine if the brake drums can be refinished and remain within the
maximum allowable diameter after refinish specification:
1. With the tire and wheel assemblies removed, measure the diameter of each of the brake drums.
Refer to Brake Drum Diameter Measurement.
2. Inspect each of the brake drums for excessive surface wear and/or radial runout. Refer to Brake
Drum Surface and Wear Inspection.
4. If the brake drums can be refinished, proceed with the rotor refinishing procedure.
5. If necessary, use the J 41013 rotor/drum flange resurfacing kit in order to thoroughly clean any
corrosion/rust from the brake drum flange.
6. Mount the brake drum to the brake lathe according to the lathe manufacturer's instructions.
7. Ensure that any vibration dampening attachments are securely in place.
8. With the brake lathe running, slowly bring in the cutting tool until it just contacts the brake drum friction
surface.
9. Observe the witness mark on the brake drum. If the witness mark extends approximately three-quarters or
more of the way around the brake drum surface, the brake drum is properly mounted to the lathe.
10. If the witness mark does not extend three-quarters or more of the way around the brake drum, re-mount
the brake drum to the lathe.
11. Following the brake lathe manufacturer's instructions, refinish the brake drum.
12. After each successive cut, inspect the brake drum diameter. Refer to Brake Drum Diameter
Measurement.
13. If at any time the brake drum exceeds the maximum allowable diameter after refinish specification, the
brake drum must be replaced.
14. After refinishing the brake drum, use the following procedure in order to obtain the desired non-
directional finish:
1. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer's recommended speed setting for applying a non-directional
finish
2. Using moderate pressure, apply the non-directional finish:
l If the lathe is equipped with a non-directional finishing tool, apply the finish with 120 grit

Applies mechanical output force (from hydraulic brake wheel cylinders) to friction surface of brake
drums.
Brake Drums
Uses mechanical output force applied to friction surface from drum brake shoes to slow speed of tire and
wheel assembly rotation.
Secures drum brake shoes firmly in proper relationship to hydraulic brake wheel cylinders. Enables
sliding motion of brake shoes needed to expand toward friction surface of drums when mechanical output
force is applied; provides return of brake shoes when mechanical output force is relieved.
Provides automatic adjustment of brake shoes to brake drum friction surface whenever brake apply occurs
during rearward motion of the vehicle.
System Operation
Mechanical output force is applied from the hydraulic brake wheel cylinder pistons to the top of the drum brake
shoes. The output force is then distributed between the primary and secondary brake shoes as the shoes expand
toward the friction surface of the brake drums. The brake shoes apply the output force to the friction surface of
the brake drums, which slows the rotation of the tire and wheel assemblies. The proper function of both the
drum brake hardware and adjusting hardware is essential to the proper distribution of braking force.
