Hi Steven,

As Dennis Haynes just pointed out, the centerbore at flat surface of the drum can get caught on the edge of the hub. Once torqued down, the drum is frequently irreparable. I didn't believe it could happen to a new drum until it did at a local shop working in a Westy for a friend of mine.
