Brake shoe wear

Fine. Wearing even and lots of shoe left. Looks like the grease seal might be just starting to leak.
Only thing I would add is:
A) any cracks in the face of the lining material?
B) Pull back the wheel cylinder outer seals and look for corrosion or rust.
C) if the linings look crack free or close - a light scuff with 150grit sand paper to take the shine off the faces and get another 10k miles. And before the crowd chimes in- wear a mask while lightly sanding so you don’t breathe in the dust.

Wish they told us that 50 years ago..
Think of the guys who used to replace linings on the car and ground them to fit.
Asbestos - it’s what’s for breakfast.

Lol, arching brake shoes use-ta-was taught in HS Auto shop way back! Not many dust masks were issued back then.
Just a dust collection system as I recall.
We had a machine where I worked...
Back when the drums and rotors turned like ladies. Now try turning the new stuff. Vibration chatter marks everywhere. Complete garbage.
Yea, but we didn’t inhale…..riiight?
