Well Mark,
It ain't an easy job but it can be done, trust
me!
I have pulled the rear drums on my 60 last summer,
you really need a very good quality puller and a lot of force.
But in the end they will come off.
You can find all the necessary information in the
repair section (Brakes) on the Imperial website.
Study this carefully and you will know everything
that you need to know !
Good luck,
Robert

Subject: IML: 1961 chrysler rear
brakes
I just don't get it. I need to replace the brakes shoes on
the rear of the car. So I jack her up put her on stands. Pull the wheels, take
the pin out and unscrew the center nut.Thats it right theres nothing else to
do. The wheel spins freely. I noticed it wasn't coming off so I
used a drum puller. Now I used a impact wrench. It didn't take it off. Is
there something here I am missing. I also tryed prying it off is that a good
idea or not . How much pressure is enough and can i damage anything by doing
this. Is there something or a step that I am not doing. What i don't
understand is when you look in a repair book they have nothing on pulling the
drum .Just how to install brakes its like the drum must fall off for you
? Until you remove the drum you cant do the brakes. so why is there
nothing on it ?.Does the e-brake need to be off ?or does it matter ?why is it
so hard to get off.I don't understand. Can someone give me some in site on
this thank you Mark
