I'll try this again, I pulled the front end off my 66' and it appears to be original as far as I can tell anyway.

The one WC bolt is only accesible with a 1/2" open end wrench, after the hose is removed. I tried several other tools to get at them but there's just not enough room to do it. The hoses came off with minimum effort.

I pulled the whole spindle/drum off as a unit in favor of discs after the front is rebuilt, and I have them lying on the ground wiht a cut chunk of hose still theaded into the WC and it's not even possible to get at the mount bolt on the hose side with the hose in place, and there's no room for a socket between the knuckle and the backing plate regardless, it's not even an option.
