Ned: In the event you don't have a Shop Manual, I have a 48 Manual for Chrysler. and also a 50 Dodge which uses the same front brake set up. The set up is the same with the single pistons for front & rear shoes on the Chrysler & Dodge. As a Shade Tree mechanic, I go by the premiss, "If it was put together, it will come apart." The anchor bolts are Eccentric and are critical when adjusting the heel and toe on re-assembly. I learned this embarrassing lesson the hard way after a round trip to Tahoe from the Bay Area when I popped a cylinder piston after returning home. If I were a cat, I'd have 8 lives left. :) Just a thought, but if you have access to an air hammer ( with adjustable air pressure) would it be possible to Loosen the nut & use the air hammer to remove the bolt. Beats swinging a 10 pound brass hammer. :) Gotta go. They want me back at the asylum.
