How to service and repair the brake drum on Chevrolet Astro?

Test the brake drum diameter first with a micrometer; proceed to replace the piece fully when the measurement reaches above its refinish limits. When extreme scoring meets brake pulsation criteria you need J 41013 rotor resurfacing kit (J 41013) to eliminate all rust from brake drum flange thoroughly.
