| • | Inspect the brake pads at regular intervals, or whenever the tire
and wheel assemblies are not on the vehicle. |
| • | Measure the thickness of the brake pad lining at the
4 locations (1,2,3,4). The lining wear should be approximately even
per axle set. Replace the brake pads if the thickness of the lining is less than the
specification. |
Specification
The minimum brake pad lining thickness is 2.00 mm (0.079 in).
| • | Inspect the brake pad for damage. |
| • | Inspect the backing plate for corrosion. |
| • | Inspect the lining for cracks or fractures. |
| • | Inspect the lining for de-lamination from the mounting plate. |
