I got my rear drums off. The interior looks great I have turned and balanced other drums which were not nearly as good inside. My question lies on the exterior. There is a decent amount of flaking rust.
Next question, I was thinking of taking a wire grinder to it first, to take off any loose rust, and then have it turned and balanced. Does this seem logical and can you paint drums with a product like POR 15 or does that effect the cooling of the drums?
A funny part of removing the drums. I had the whole rear end up to work on both sides. I start on the right and was having a tuff time. The drums were spinning but not coming off. After about an hour I decided to work on the other side. To my amazement it was sitting off the shoes ready to fall on the ground. I finally got the other side off with heat. I should have started with that.
