I just started a complete brake job and noticed a section in Les Andrews Vol I discussing this procedure using a tool most vendors sell. I haven't seen or heard this subject discussed. Is this commonly being done? How important is it? How are roller tracks being bent as Les suggests to adjust for proper clearance? Also, what are people preferring to use for new drums.... Schneider's cast iron drums or Bratton's nodular iron drums which Bratton says is over 2 x stronger than cast iron? Thanks in advance for commenting.
