T-Series MG TD Brake drums .. Bearings pressed in?

I pulled wheels off my TD in front, removed the castle nut and washer.. looks like the bearings are pressed in? Guess I need to rent a puller? If I disconnect the rubber brake pipe hose and remove the four backing plate bolts, will the entire drum/brake assembly dislocate for removal? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
It's been a long school year teaching high school.. this is spring break week and I'm planning on listening to oldies, sip some suds and work on my new TD.
Thanks for your help, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
 
Nope... disassemble it a bit and a piece at a time. You need to locate a workshop manual. It'll be invaluable as you progress through the process.

EDIT: Actually, it ~would~ all come off as an assembly, but it would be a handfull.
 
Thanks Tony... I bought it!
I'll rent a puller today and pull those rascal drums off..
This TD was shipped over from London in 1975.. still has the steamship line paprework on the windshield.. engine is dinnerplate clean... as far as I can see... the brakes are all new, too. I like it!
 
You've a PRIZE there! Now we realy DO want photos!
