My '67 is completely apart and as I was disassembling my front brake  
assemblies I ran into a problem. I have drum brakes and cannot get the  spindle 
separated from the backing plate. I have the entire drum and spindle  assembly 
on 
the workbench so it is easy to work on and most everything came  apart just 
fine. But....there is a large "pin", more than an inch in diameter,  at the top 
bolt where the ends of the brake shoes meet. I cannot get this  separated from 
the spindle. All of the bolts are removed and I have only managed  to get this 
thing to move about 1/16th of an inch. Any suggestions? I would  definitely 
like to upgrade to disc brakes but that will have to wait. It's one  of those 
pesky budget thingys!! 
 
Thanks,
Ronnie Tadlock
