Any way of removing the brake drum from hub of 40 Cad Model 60S?  I want to retain the stock wheel studs.  Im going to install 68 Buick finned alum brake drums.

TIA

WHOA!  Have you done all the research on this??  Correct brake shoe width?   Correct inside drum diameter?  I doubt they are compatible.  You cant just swap on a different set of drums willy-nilly.   Will the 40 60S wheels fit over the Buick drums?  Will the 68 Buick drums even fit on the 40 hubs?  CRITICAL STUFF!   Were talking 28 years of separation here.  My apologies if you have already  researched all of the above, but if you are contemplating this kind of major modification you should already know how to separate the drums from the hubs!
