Fig. 1: Check the drums for tool marks or small cracks
which can be machined out by a brake shop — replace broken
drums
Raise and support the front end on jackstands.
Remove the wheel.
Remove the drum attaching screws and insert them in the threaded holes in
the drum. Turn the screws inward, evenly, to force the rum off the hub.
Thoroughly inspect the drum. Discard a cracked drum. If the drum is suspected
of being out of round, or shows signs of wear or has a ridged or rough surface,
have it turned on a lathe at a machine shop. The maximum oversize is stamped
into the drum.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Make sure that the holes are aligned
for the attaching screws. Tighten the screws evenly to install the drum.
