Can a Brake Drum Be Machined on a Brake Lathe if It's Deeply Scored or Warped, and What Precautions Are Necessary on 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

A severely scored or distorted brake drum can be turned on a brake lathe as per the instructions of the manufacturer. Take a pre-setting of the diameter; when machining is beyond the maximum permissible diameter, change the drum. A fine final finish feed cut should be ensured during machining so that no problems occur with brake shoes because specifications differ with lathe manufacturer.
