Dealt with this a lot because people have no idea about mostly removing the assembley.The drums when replaced were swedged back on with new studs.We used to have the tools at the shop years ago.I had a 61 polara that a so called mechanic puled the drums off with a jaw puller.So bad the pedal would pound up and down when you braked.Found a set of drums from a 60 that fit in a yard.Many have no idea that there is a special puer for them.Still have mine even though i dont have any early cars anymore.Rocky

What years were these brakes used? Do the early 60's axles require the same service procedure? Yes, through 1964, I believe.

Yes 64 and earlier.Ive seen so called mechanics even back in the day that didnt have a clue as to how they come off.I guess many never saw a Chiltons or service manual.One reason why when we had the 57 and 62 I bought the correct puller.Rocky

FWIW, the '65-'69 C-body rear end is a virtual drop-in for the '57-'61 FL cars. I just installed one in my '57 Dodge wagon, the pads are 1/2" different in spacing but the spring bushings will flex enough so that the difference isn't noticed.
