I have called J&G Brake Drum Relining, and questioned them on
the need to remove the hub, and the reply was they just wanted to do it and charge a additional 45.00 plus new studs and bearings.

These drums are very shallow and it just seems unnecessary to me, to remove the hub and swagged studs.

I imagine they would turn down the scored surface and insert a new liner and turn that to the standard 12" diameter and they would need the hub intact to do that.

I was a Wagner Brake factory rep for 25 years and have a good stock of #29 asbestos lined brake shoes, and understand the importance of arcing shoes to the drums.

Thank you all for your replies.
