I'm in the process of changing the master cylinder and wheel cylinders. When I finally got the front drums off I noticed the brake pads are wearing on the outer edge of the top & bottom of the pads. Are these brake pads still usable or is this normal wear? If not, how do I adjust the pads to avoid this. Thanks

Sometimes on new shoes the leading and trailing edges are champhered before install. How does the rest of the shoe surface look, even wear?? Paul in CT

I believe that the ends of the linings were champhered before installation. Anyway it would be impossible for them to wear that way in normal usage.
