Hello, I have done a few rear hub swaps on different cars with rear
disk brakes but never with drum brakes. How easy is it to pull the
rear drum brake assembly? Do I have to actually disconnect them or can
I pull the round covers with the drum brake parts enclosed and rest them
to the side? Thanks:)

I looked at the autoparts store at a book and it appears that after I
remove the drum brake cover the hub will have 2 large holes to insert
the socket to get to the 4 bolts holding on the hub assembly and that it
can be removed without messing with the brakes. The only question I
have is how do I keep the hub from spinning while trying to loosen the
bolts? I dont think I can apply the parking brake as it will hold on
the hub??? Thanks :) Nate
