  Q: How to service and repair the brake drum on Chevrolet Silverado 3500?

  A: Before servicing the brake drum you should measure its largest diameter using a micrometer; if the unit surpasses the maximum refinish specifications then replace it rather than refinishing it. You can use the J 41013 Rotor Resurfacing Kit (J 41013) to eliminate rust from the brake drum flange before fixing the drum's issues. Deep rust that extends beyond braking and major damage needs this kit's cleaning tools. Following brake drum machining you need to run 120 grit aluminum oxide sandpaper over the surface to make it non-directional. Using GM P/N 12377981 brake parts cleaner or its approved equivalent produces the highest quality brake stop performance results when you clean the braking surfaces.
