Brake Drum: Testing and Inspection
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE DRUM
With the drum off the vehicle, measure the drum for diameter variation (oval shape). The diameter variation of the drum braking surface must not
exceed either 0.0635 mm (0.0025 inch) in 30° or 0.0889 mm (0.0035 inch) in 360°. Measure brake drum runout. Brake drum runout should be
checked with the drum mounted on a brake lathe. Brake drum runout should not exceed 0.1524 mm (0.006 inch). If either of these measurements are
not within specification, reface or replace the drum.
Always replace the drum if machining will cause the diameter to exceed drum maximum diameter. All brake drums are marked with the maximum
allowable brake drum diameter.
