Re: Thickness of brake shoe material

Quote:
How thick should the pad be on a brake shoe on a 69 GMC 1/2 ton?
The minimum thickness is 1/32" above the rivets. Also any cracks,glaze or fluid contamination warrants replacement. Personally,I like a little more meat on the shoes and replace them sooner than these specs would dictate.- Brian
