Should I replace the brake shoes

[mothra]

Hi Everyone,

During a visual inspection of the rear brakes I have this












Do I need to replace the brake shoes?

Thanks

According to the FSM, the minimum brake lining thickness allowed is 1 mm (.03937"). Replace both left and right brake shoes if either lining is at, or less than, the minimum thickness.

The maximum allowable inner diameter of the drum is 201.5 mm (7.933"). Inspect the drum for scratches and uneven or abnormal wear and repair or replace the drum as necessary.

Happy Motoring!

they might be within tolerances, but they look like they're wearing slightly unevenly.

I'd put in new shoes, and get the drums turned, because you've got them off, and they're fairly inexpensive parts.

Thanks for the info :-), The drums are back on the car now but next weekend I will make the measurements and see.

Thanks for the reply :-) I have a feeling I will be replacing at least the shoes.
