now I know what those holes in the drum are for. when we did my son's brakes recently, we ended up hitting it numerous times to release the drum. if I had known about those holes, it would have been easier. thanks. when we put it back together, we coated that surface with a thin layer of anti seize grease so hopefully it does not do that again. thanks for sharing.

Thanks for comment. :-)

michael adams if you hit drum with a hammer that may transfer force in to a bearing hub and shorten his life or damage. My mechanic did that couple months ago now replacing rear bearing hub after it only did 50k miles... Coincidence? :-)

No, You can only remove and paint.

Thanks

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thank you and I really appreciate your feedback.

[@grandmastershek]

Nice job! Just a heads up:
The "holes" are "teeth", and the breaks expand (bigger) and contract (smaller).

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks, good idea !
