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.
