I just pulled the drums on my ez lubes and what a mess. Good news, no leakage into the brakes. Brakes need replacing though. Pricing things out and wonder if the cost for never adjust is worth it. Thoughts? Also, are the bearings that come with the drum packages any good?

Brake lining was pretty thin in my estimate when compared to what I used to see when doing car brakes back in the day. Lots of brake dust in the drums. I think they are original (previous owners did not use the trailer much). I had them checked when I bought (2 years ago, put about 6K on since then) and the mechanic said they were used but not replacement level. Also replacing 10 year old tires. Wondering if it cheaper to replace the drums or see if they can be turned on a drum lathe and reuse. Shoot, does anyone have a drum lathe anymore?
