HOW MUCH CAN YOU TURN PACKARD BRAKE DRUMS.. particularly a 1940-42 1807-2007. The drums didn't get turned this weekend, so I have to take them in at 8am and they promised to do them then, before dropping them at the shop. One hold up was they didn't have a safety spec for how much they could turn the drum. It's not in the 40 160 manual. I couldn't find one in the motor manual.


Where does one find such a spec? Is this just general knowledge?
I was told the car had maybe 40 or 50K miles, so I doubt the drums have yet been turned.

Thanks in advance of 8 am. PDST
