Thanks Richard. I didn't remove the bearings. I greased 'em and used compressed air to pack it in there. All the stuff was in really good shape including the shoes and cylinders. Doesn't surprise me as the previous owner obviously did a lot of work on the rear suspension and axle.
Those back drums are heavy!
