I've found this is another good use for the copper-faced hammer used for wire wheels.

What did you do about the hold-down pins? Or do you have the 10" brakes without hold down pins?

I did it the same way as Moses on a TR4 - the pins are no issue unless you are trying to save them - the little clips will come off pretty easily, but will likely be deformed and difficult to reuse. Then again since everything is rusty anyway they probably need replacement anyway.

That is exactly what I have. Although, there must be a way to deal with the hold-down pins, where they stick through the back of the backing plate.
