Rear

CAUTION: The rear inboard brake shoe lining material, wears more rapidly then the outer brake shoe lining. If visual inspection of rear inboard brake shoe does not adequately determine brake lining material thickness, removal of the brake shoes for inspection is recommended. Refer to Rear Disc Brake Shoes, in Removal And Installation for required procedure.

To check the amount of lining wear, remove the wheel and tire assemblies. If a visual inspection does not adequately determine the condition of the lining, removal will be necessary. Remove the shoe and lining assemblies (see Removal and Installation).
Combined shoe and lining thickness should be measured at the thinnest part of the assembly.






When the friction material on the rear disc brake shoes is worn to a thickness of approximately 2.5 mm (0.100 inch) the brake shoes must be replaced.
Replace both brake shoes (inboard and outboard) on both wheels whenever the brake shoes on either side of the vehicle are replaced.
If the brake shoes do not require replacement, install the original brake shoes back in the caliper. Make sure each brake shoe is returned to its original position on the wheel of the vehicle that it was removed from.
