WARNING
DO NOT handle brakeshoes, brakedrums, or other brake
components unless area has been properly cleaned. There
may be asbestos dust on these components which can be
dangerous if you touch it or breathe it. Wear an approved
filter mask and gloves. Never use compressed air or a dry
brush to clean brake components. Dust may be removed
using an industrial-type vacuum cleaner. Clean dust or mud
away from brake components with water and a wet, soft
brush or cloth. Failure to follow this warning may result in
serious illness or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Do not get grease, oil, solvent, or fingerprints on lining
surfaces. This will cause glazed linings and uneven braking,
resulting in replacing otherwise good linings.
NOTE
All four sets of brakeshoes and linings are removed the
same way. Only one is covered in this procedure. Repeat the
procedure for remaining sets of brakeshoes and linings.
