Hello,

Do not seperate the drums from the hubs unless you are planning on buying replacement outers.

If I remember correctly, my machinist uses a small tapered mandrel that also works for VW bug rear drums so call around and find someone who can turn VW drums.

The drums start out at 9" and can be safely turned to 9.090 before needing replacement.

BTW, Volvo has never sold just the drum outers and when purchasing Volvo drums you get a complete assembly with a new center hub with new bearing races already installed along with 5 new studs.
