Default Re: Can I use new cast brake drums with old shoes?

First you have to get the hubs off of the old drums. 2. clean hubs throughly. 3. Inspect for damage and wear - Replace if necessary. 4. Retrue machine surface on lathe. 5. Swedge new cast drums to hubs - minimum 30 ton press and very carful to get everything PERFECTLY square or will crack drum or hub. 6. Return drum to insure not waraped in swedging process. 6. Inspect all internal parts for wear and replace if necessary. 7. Sand Grind or set new shoes to match diameter of new drums. 8 Assemble.


It could take anywhere fron two days to two weeks to complete depending on your tools available and your expertise. There are NO shortcuts.


I have the equipment to do this but I am 100plus miles away fro you.
