Re: 1998 Ford F150 rear drum brakes

 Made a boo boo and left the e brake engaged for 50 miles and turns out the passenger rear drum locked up and I left a long skidmark in a parking lot trying to leave before it eventually freed up.
 Finally opened that side up yesterday, no hardware is broken, but the front shoe overheated, has a lot of cracks in the material and its quite thin, so I am figuring on new shoes and hardware kit...may as well do both sides.
 Seems a lot of people replace the wheel cylinders at the same time, but when I pressed the brake pedal all the way down, the cylinder works both ways so despite that heat, I guess its ok.
 The drum itself looks ok, no grooves but last time I did a system like this over 20 yrs ago, we turned the drums at the auto parts store to resurface them.
 These days, I think thats a lost art? Do they still do it at Autozone etc?
 Otherwise, if I dont get them resurfaced, will there be problems down the road with new shoes?

The drum that over heated likely has surface damage and is out of round.
I would turn both rear drums if they are still thick enough to do so.
