From experience on my '48 2ton, I can tell you the most difficult part will probably be getting the drum over the brake shoes. If there is any ridge on the inside of the drum, it will take alot of tapping and prying. The first thing you should do is to try pushing in and turning the spring loaded bolts on the backing plate next to the wheel cyl. These adjust the threaded rods in the end of the wheel cyl. in and out. See if you can "back off" the brake shoes by adjusting the wheel cyl. in. If you can, this will save alot of headache down the road.
It's been awhile since I had mine apart, but I do remember that my wheel cyls. were frozen and I couldn't back them off. I think I used a big mallet and a pry bar then just kept working my way aroud the drum and I slowly got it worked over the brake shoes. :rolleyes: I also recall using a large three jaw wheel puller to put pressure on the drum while I beat on it.
