Subject: Brake overhaul - brake drums
My brake drums need skimming. I think one pair are alright but the others are not. Someone in their wisdom relined the brake shoes on one axle and not the other. I don't think they are bad but certainly not smooth.

I have been advised not to have them skimmed but replace them. The reason being that they will possibly go out of round after skimming. I don't think much would need to be removed.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or experience of having the drums skimmed?
