Brake Pads on Heavy Duty Wheels

[Ernie Martin]

My 337G has the heavy duty wheels with 18x5.5 tires. The brake pads seemed kind of skinny, so we ordered some thinking they ought to be changed. But when they arrived, they were not very thick so we've got to figure whether they're due for a change. Any way to tell? Also, these pads don't use rivets -- any special tricks when installing.

BTW, for those who saw the Parts-Buying presentation given by Larry Bowdish, I bought the pads new-surplus from Preferred Airparts at 50% off Cessna price.
