CHECKING THE BRAKE DRUMS
A.
Visually inspect the rear drums for damage such as cracks, scoring, and deep grooves.
B.
Measure the drum diameter in three (3) or more points around the brake drum to confirm that the inside diameter does not exceed the service
limits and that the drum is not out of round.
