Brake lining

Icing phenomena was seen on the roof of my B-Vectra this early morning, realizing me the winter season actually.


Too thick brake lining and inverted upper return positioner prevented me from setting new brake shoes in rear drum brake system on the right side.
The preparing thickness between brake shoe surface and drum inner one influences the touch of braking reaction, so the thickness setting cannot be too careful to adjust precisely, utmost concentrations and gentle manufacturing are required here.
Judging from the rate of wear of shoes in the rear drum and no oil consumption was observed, regarding that more future using were available. So, old parts were fixed on break shoes. In order to set the new parts, some precise setting procedures would be required for the next servicing.
Gradual familiarity is felt on old VW 1302 Super Beetle, I mean some mentally internal connections with this old machinery.
