Reuse Cracked up Drum?

Can I reuse this drum on a what will be 90% trail Jeep? The only time it will see road use it too and from the trails.. If I do use it, is the only problem a out of balance vibration? Thanks..

Oh and dont tell her I had the drum on the kitchen floor!

Carnage....

 

Thats 3 hours of, hammer, hammer, hammer, pry, hammer, hammer, hammer, pry! I almost needed a nap just too get one damn drum off!R)

 

That thing is stressed now!! I would use it temporarily for trail use but I would replace it, its gonna fail under heavy use.

 

R) Sheesh man. I'd replace it.

 

The drums are 10in ID so wouldent that make them 10in brakes?

 

I might have a set of useable 10" drums i'll give you for the price of shipping. Let me check....if I get home at a decent hour some time this week.

 

Yep, you can see where it says 10.060 max diameter!!

 

replace the drum. pleeeeaaassseee !!!!!!!

 

I was just trying to keep from having to subject the wife to another charge on the debit card. After the Painless harness, BDS lift and wheels and tires I think she is realizing that this Jeep is not going to be a cheap project.. I saw that they are $45 new and if I went new I would have to get both sides and that would be another $100 I did not plan on spending.. If someone does have a used good set I would love to buy it from you.. Thanks..

 

I agree, since I am doing pads and wheel cylinders I should also use decent drums.. Just dident think that the area that broke was a "working area" on the drum, but I realize that I probably stressed the entire drum..

 

I just picked one up today at Carquest in MI for $19.50 US made and in stock. The one I am replacing is tweaked around two lugs outward and doesn't allow the backspacer to sit flush which means the rim is crooked and wobbles. Pretty cheap for piece of mind. I would think it would suck more to be broke down on the trail versus the road for a $20 buck part- just my .02cents.........

 

Might have to check there tomorrow! Thanks.. Where in Mi are you?

 

Port Huron area they shipped it from their Bay City? store overnight without any additional cost. I am sure they could do the same for you to your local store- one day turn around pretty impressive and I was in there around 3pm the day before.........

 

When are you putting it on? I am interested how well/bad they fit...

 

Well I ordered a hub puller from JC Whitney since I have the tapered axle shaft on the rear and hope to avoid the damage in your pic. I hope to get that soon. The new Carquest hub looks like the original though and I don't expect any problems.
