when to replace rear drums?

[kruiser]

Hi, are there indications that the rear drums need to be replaced? what are the telltale signs, without taking the drums off?

u will have take off drums 2 see what u working with and to see how bad are they

Or, bring them to a shop and ask them to check.

There's one place in Winnipeg that checks brakes for free. Surely there's cheap place near you too.

go really fast in a secluded area and throw ur e-bake. If you go out of control and fishtail ur brakes r good, LOL

Seriously though, just go to a shop or take them off and have a look.

Generally if your don't use the ebrake for tail sliding then rule of thumb is 1 set of drums for every 5 or so set of front pads.
