I've been dropping drums and setting the drum back on its axle with a hammer for 40 years, as did my dad before me...................but what do I know, he was a mechanic and I'm a retired engineer!

I wasn't saying you were wrong, I'm new to any sort of car work and it wasn't something that I'd heard before

Re: Brake shoes
The theory behind the practice is that the shock of the hit, makes the drum vibrate and it helps detach the encrusted brake dust.
