Brake Drum Maintenance

Refer to Figure 138

46. Inspect the shoe surface (the inside rim). Normal

appearance is dull gray, with no more than light
scoring and light wear.

One or two light score marks are not cause for
resurfacing or replacement. If there are any
questions concerning the condition of a drum,
consult an expert.

Replace or resurface a drum that is heavily scored,
worn to more than 0.51mm (0.020in) oversize, or has
0.38mm (0.015in) or greater run-out.

Brake Drum Resurfacing

47. A standard drum lathe is suitable for machining the

shoe surface.

When removing surface, do not exceed the
maximum diameter cast in the brake drum.

48. Be sure to remove any metallic chips and

contamination resulting from drum machining.

Re-Mount Hub and Drum

Refer to Figure 139

49. Repack any bearings removed.

50. If replacing inner bearing seal

, orient it with the

seam side out (away from bearing). Seat the seal so
that it is completely inside the narrow diameter of the
hub, and close to, but not touching the bearing cup

.

Seals are hollow metal structures and are somewhat fragile.
The are not intended to be in contact with the bearings. When

installing them, carefully align them so they are concentric

with the shaft hole. Apply insertion force across the entire face,
or at least equally along the entire outside diameter (as close

to the seal O.D. as possible).

51. Carefully place drum/hub assembly

 on spindle.

52. Insert re-packed outer bearing

.

53. Add spindle washer

 and castle nut

.

54. Tighten nut until drum/hub does not turn freely.

Loosen nut

 turn, and as much looser as needed to

align hole in spindle (not shown) with notches in nut.

55. Secure nut with cotter pin

. Install dust cap

.

Heavily scored, worn or oversized drums can reduce brake

performance or cause loss of braking. This could result in

death, serious personal injury, or property damage.

Failure to remove chips can cause bearing failure, brake
failure or wheel/spindle separation. This could result in death,

serious personal injury, or property damage.

Wear a respirator equipped with a HEPA filter approved by
NIOSH or MSHA when grinding or machining brake drums. In

addition, do such work in an area with a local exhaust

ventilation system equipped with a HEPA filter.
