Brake shoes

["Phil Patterson" <hill7jack6@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unless it's really extreme, dont worry about it. I should be fine. If it was
a front pad, I'd be a bit more concerned, but not much. Its just that drum
shoes have a lot larger area to work with.
Now if the lining was pulling away from the shoe, then I'd be concerned
enough to change it.
