DRUMS
Determine the need to recondition based upon individual drum
conditions that follow. Friction material replacement does not require
drum reconditioning unless other justifications exist. DO NOT
recondition new drums unless they are being pressed or bolted onto an
existing hub. It is not necessary to replace drums in axle sets.
However, when replacing or reconditioning a drum due to the conditions
that follow, you may suggest reconditioning of the other drum on the

indicator is to alert him or her to check for friction
wear. Wear indicators may be bent or broken. Therefore,
the friction material must be measured. The need for
friction material replacement is determined based upon
the conditions stated in this section. Periodic inspection
is suggested.
( 7) - When the part appears to be close to the end of its useful
life, replacement may be suggested.
