Skimming brake drums

Replacing the rear brake shoes and skimming the brake drums from my car

Great job. It’s funny how those who cannot do this job always think it should have been done differently. Inevitably, they, themselves, have no YT tutorials. This is a great use of your tools and the drum doesn’t know what type of lathe did the job. Ive had a chance to get two, both free. Can’t justify for a diner with an engine lathe. A brake lathe takes a lot of space for the one job it does and you are right, most just wastefully replace drums and disks nowadays. For business the time of setup, measuring, and turning would be difficult to charge for when the customer always thinks that new is best. Kudos for saving and using serviceable parts. Rant over!

A very nice job. I used to do drum brakes on stands in the parking lot, because I would pull drum and then wash clean with a garden water hose/ nozzle. No dust, and nicer to disassemble clean brakes.

I didn't see you adjust the brakes after, so assume they are self adjusting via the handbrake ? Good job, wish I had a lathe to do mine.

I like it, clever method!!

Did you check the wheel cylinder for leaks. I Love one wheel brake jobs.

Have you ever herd of an Amco brake lathe.

[@maxfh768]

Do you mean Ammco? They aren't very common over here as drums and disk normally get replaced when worn

Смешно даже не кавырялся с этим авто даже авто трудно назвать слишком много недостатков
