MAJOR REPAIR OPERATIONS
BRAKE DRUM REFINISHING
The 6-cylinder models are equip-
ped with 9-inch brake drums and
the 8-cylinder are equipped with
I
0-inch drums.
Minor scores on a brake drum can
be removed with a fine emery cloth.
A drum that is excessively scored or
shows a total indicator
runout of
over 0.007 inch should be turned
down. Remove only enough stock to
eliminate the scores and true up the
drum. The refinished diameter must
not exceed 0.060 inch oversize.
If the drum diameter is less than
0.030 inch oversize, 9.030 inches
6-cylinder, or 10.030 inches 8-cyl-
inder after refinishing, standard lin-
ing may be installed. If the drum
diameter is more than 9.030 inches
or 10.030 inches, oversize linings
must be installed.
After a drum is turned down, wipe
the refinished surface with a cloth
soaked in clean denatured alcohol.
If
one drum is turned down. the
opposite drum on the same axle
should also be cut down to the same
size.

BRAKE SHOE RELINING
Brake linings that are worn to
within
352
inch of any rivet or have
been saturated with grease or oil
should be replaced. Failure to replace
worn linings will result in a scored
drum.
When it is necessary to re-
place linings, they must also be
replaced on the wheel on the op-
posite side of the car.
Inspect brake shoes for distortion,
cracks, or looseness.
If
this condi-
tion exists, the shoe should be dis-
carded.
Do not repair a defective
brake shoe.
1.
Wash the brake shoes thor-
oughly in a clean solvent. Remove
all burrs or rough spots from the
shoes.
2.
Check the inside diameter of the
brake drum. If the diameter is less
than 9.030 or 10.030 inches, stand-
ard lining may be installed. If the
diameter is 9.030 to 9.060 or 10.030
to 10.060 inches, oversize lining
should be installed.
3.
Position the new lining on the
shoe. Starting in the center, insert
and secure the rivets, working alter-
nately towards each end. Install all
parts supplied in the kit.

replacement linings are ground
