Re-installing brake drums on '62/Emergency Brake

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

The 1962 emergency brake is not with the rear wheels, but on the end of 
the transmission. It will not effect the rear brake drums.

Hi Joe,

Make sure the emergency brake cable isn't hanging up and forcing the 
shoes outward. Both shoes should be right up against upper anchor 
(where the return springs attach) tight. If they aren't you'll have a 
tough time getting the drums on.

Joe, is it possible the hydraulic wheel cylinder pistons are extended 
too much? Just thinking, Dave.
