FWIW, Thought I would forward the below email from the Forward Look List. 
It discusses the use of later wheel studs in the 64 and earllier style 
rears to allow the pulling the brake drums without need a drum puller. I 
don't know if earlier (pre-62) rears are different from the 62-64 but 
thought it might help someone.
