Before I got my '62 Suburban, I'd never seen front drums on a car that came off WITHOUT taking the entire hub assembly off. Every other vehicle I've worked on had the drums riveted to the hub. This includes '54 Buick, '56 and '57 Chevy, '68-up Nova, etc. etc. etc.
I was very, very surprised to see the front drum come off my Suburban without removing the dust cap/cotter pin/castle nut and big washer with the tang in the center.
