Answer 1

Technician b is correct because the left rear brake drum is scored, but the right rear drum looks as good as new then both sides should be remachined to a similar diameter.

A brake drum is a revolving cylinder-shaped component that is friction-activated by a set of shoes or pads pressing outward against it. Drum brakes are brakes where shoes are pressed against the inner surface of the drum. Drum brakes are frequently used at the rear. Compared to disc brakes, these brakes have more parts and are more difficult to maintain, but they cost less to make and are simple to add an emergency braking mechanism. The front and rear brakes are standard equipment on all automobiles. Your car may have a "disc brake" system on all four wheels, a "drum brake" system on all four wheels, or a combination of the two. Typically, the front brakes of your car have a disc system, and the rear brakes have a drum system.
