1. Check the brake friction pads for the following conditions.
1) Friction pad wear causes to make the rivets or bolts protrude.
 NOTE ：
Install a brake pad wear alarm
sensor wire between the brake
shoes where the pads wear fastest
to contact the brake drum when
the pads are only 8.7mm and wear
off when the pads are only 6.5mm.

2) Hardening of friction pad surface

continuous high temperature, so that
the surface of the friction pad
hardens and loses its elasticity.
3) Deterioration of friction pads surface.

Deterioration of friction pads:

Friction pads are burnt and black in
color.

A. Yes, replace friction pads.

A. No, perform next step.

2. Check the brake shoe.
1) Is the contact between the brake shoes and the friction pads tight.

A. Yes, proceed to the next step.

A. No, tighten rivets or tighten bolts.

2) Is the brake shoe support pin loose?

A. Yes, tighten bearing pin lock nut.

A. No, perform next step.

3. Check the brake drum.
1)Whether the brake drum is deformed.
A. Yes, calibrate or replace the brake drum.
A. No, perform next step.
2)Whether the inner surface of the brake drum is worn evenly.
A. Yes, proceed to the next step.
B. No, calibrate or replace brake drums.
