After having three wheel seals fail years ago and having the brakes all greased up, I replaced all four backing plate assemblies and due to the grease causing weird wear to the brake and armature surfaces, had to have the drums turned. Fortunately, there was a big utility trailer manufacturer/dealer next door to the Redneck trailer parts place, and they were able to turn the drums. Most auto parts stores that usually turn drums and rotors can not turn the armatures of these drums, just not set up for doing it, so call around before starting your project so you know where to go if needed. I've replaced the brake assemblies a couple of times, and replacing the assemblies is the way to go compared to just parts, which at times is difficult to get all the pieces. I've since upgraded our rig to disc brakes, so checking and doing the brakes is much easier now.
