Keep in mind, I'm talking about my wife's Toyota Celica and not my Tahoe.

I took my wife's car to the mechanic to have the brakes done, I specifically asked to have new rotors, new drums, and of course new pads. End result, he turned my rear drums, put new front rotors on, and new pads. I would have caught this immediately except my wife had to pick up the car as I was at work at the time.

But how many times can a rear brake drum be turned before it becomes one too many?

Anyone know???

Till you reach the maximum diameter stamped on the drum.
