Rear Brake Drum Diameter

Post by Rebel »

Hi all,
When measuring rear brake drums to get the diameter, do you measure from the front of the drum where the wheel studs poke through or from the back ?
Need new brake shoes and not sure which size drums I have.
It’s a ‘68 Charger with 383 and 727 auto
TIA
