Drum Brake Question
I'm redoing my brakes since my funtime
 yesterday. Anyways, when I pulled the front wheels, I noticed the drums need ground. It's been so long since I had front drums, do I need to chisel the drum from the hub before I take them to a shop to be ground  or is it customary (safe) to leave the drums on the hubs.Thanks

As long as the drums and hub are still together and not loose its best to turn them with the hub. You'll get a better centerline when the drum is chucked up. Most auto parts stores will turn it for ya.
If I remember right, the stud shank is what holds the drum onto the hub, if thats the case... leave the hub attached. |

When you say "ground" I assume you mean having them turned on a drum lathe to get the rough spots out, right? You can leave the hubs on and take them in as is.
