Having discovered how expensive these are to replace I thought I would skim them out on a lathe. Well they cleaned up after machining about 0.020” out of the diameter. There is absolutely no information in any of the Volvo manuals I have regarding the maximum diameter the drum can be (either through wear or machining). But having spoken to Amazon Cars,Rob uses a gauge to check the diameter, which measures 230mm (9.055”). If the gauge goes in the drum he scraps it. I am wondering if machining the drum bore to no more than 9.030”diameter is in order. Does anybody know please?
