To measure a brake drum for wear, use a caliper to check the drum's diameter at several points along its surface. Compare these measurements to the manufacturer's specifications for maximum allowable diameter. Additionally, inspect the drum for any visible cracks, grooves, or scoring, as these can indicate wear or damage. If the drum exceeds the maximum diameter or shows significant defects, it should be replaced.

How do you measure brake drum run out?
To measure brake drum runout, first securely mount the brake drum on a lathe or a similar fixture. Use a dial indicator to measure the distance from the drum's surface to a fixed point as the drum is rotated. The runout is determined by the maximum variation in the dial indicator reading; a runout exceeding manufacturer specifications may indicate the drum is warped or damaged. Always ensure the drum is clean and properly installed to obtain accurate measurements.
