64 Dart Front Drum Removal (and more!)

Wow. That is odd.
GREAT picture. Thanks!
I doubt the drums are the originals, or if they are, they must've been off before now, but I'll have to have a look before I set about doing the job.

I mean, you'd think in 45 years the brakes have been done!
I don't know how hard they'll be to remove if they've been off before.

I'm guessing I'll have to replace the lugs too(?) Mine are reverse threaded on one side I believe. I suppose I can change that too if I change the lugs.
That's pretty weird. Glad I asked!!

Since I'll be replacing the drums, I wonder if they can be done so in the future they will come right off, like on later models, or if they have to be re-swaged/swollen back on?
If anyone else has any insights on this, please...
