  Q: How should brake pads and a Brake Shoe Set containing asbestos be handled during inspection and replacement in disc brakes on Mitsubishi Diamante?

  A:

  Because they contain asbestos, which causes cancer, Brake Pads and shoes should not be cleaned using compressed air or inhaled dust. During inspection, first remove the brake drum. Measure the wear of the brake lining in the most worn area. The service limit for replacement is set at 0.039 in. (no context to paraphrase). It is advised to disassemble or assemble only one side of the drum brakes for reference. If you discover that a shoe and lining assembly component is below the limit, then replace both the left and right side assemblies as a set to prevent pulling on braking. Examine the sliding condition of wheel-cylinder piston in case of thickness difference of left and right assembly more than significant value. To remove the tire and wheel assembly and install the new wheel bearings, you must safely raise and support the vehicle. Then, take off the tire and note the location of all springs and clips so you put them back on properly. Upon unraveling the brake drum, detach the Parking Brake Cable and meticulously clean the backing plate, ensuring smooth operation of the backing plate bosses. Using lithium-based grease, lubricate the necessary areas. Clean and dry all other parts then put anti-seize on the star wheel threads before transferring parts to the new shoes. In reverse order, reconnect the parking brake arm, install the shoes on the backing plate, and install the hardware. Before installing the new wheel bearing self-locking nut and adjusting the rear brake shoes, preadjust the shoes for a light drag with the drum. For the Galant and 1993 to 2000 Mirage models, the processes for rear wheel and drum removal, spring and shoe removal are similar. Ensure proper installation of the parking brake lever and adjuster assembly. While driving and applying the parking brake, the rear brakes automatically adjust but manual adjustments are only needed when you replace the shoes or hardware. In order to adjust, take the brake drum apart, clean any dust, and measure the inside diameter of the drum. Next, adjust the shoes to the same diameter as the inside with the help of a brake adjustment gauge. Finally, refit back the drum.
