brake drum question

Hey Guys, I've got everything I need to replace every part on my rear drum brake assemblies. I've got the new matching shoes and new drums and was wondering do I need to have the new drums turned before I do this repair?

Only if the surfaces aren't nice and symmetrical...

If they are, then run them

If not, turn them.

I heard of one case where some drums must have been sitting on edge for 20 years and they were no longer round. As FE said..put em on.

Thanks Guys, that just makes it easier for me....the last brake job I did was back in "77". I lost my brake tools or they got carried off and If I remember right you do need some special tools for putting those springs back on.

yeah, the tool helps, but it's cheap and available at any parts store
