F250 guy 107 Posted May 27, 2020 I'm getting my parts list together to redo the front brakes, and was wondering 1 of 2 things. 1. The castle nut for the brake drum, how tight, or just tighten it up? 2. Is there a thickness that the braking surface on the inside of the drum has to be, need to know before I order so I don't get cylinders and shoes and oh crap I forgot a drum. Thanks to anybody who can help me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
