Haven't replaced them on my Cruiser, but have on a lot of other
cars.They don't need replacing as much as the fronts as the fronts do most of the work.I change and rotate my wheels twice a year and always check the brake linings while I have the wheel off.Hope this helps.

Not much needs to be done with the brake drum other than to paint the outside with some hi-temp paint or anti-rust paint to prevent them from rusting and to pull them off to inspect the brake linings.

I covered my rear drums with spun aluminum disks. If you don't look real hard for the lack of brake caliper, you can't tell that they aren't real whell disks.

Also, you can just see the edge of the drum if you look over the fake disks into the wheel so I painted the drum with Rust-o-liem black to hide them. |

Just got my front brakes done the other day. I originally went in for a $20 oil change, and the manager said that I have less than 10% of the pads left on the brakes and I wouldn't make it to the next oil change. I was feeling it when I stepped on the brakes that it took longer to stop. The shop routinely checks the rear drums, and they cleaned out all the crud, cuz if you don't the shoes don't align properly. Generally the rear drums dont need replacing for a while.
