Another small success. After some strenuous coaxing, I managed to get the left rear wheel off of what remains of the rear hub and go to work on removing the hub from the axle. Astonishingly, what took days on the right side was a matter of minutes on the left once the rear wheel had been removed. Did the brute force used on the right hub intimidate the left one into meekly departing its axle, or was I just lucky? Now onto removing the rear drums from the spare rear axle I have just for that purpose.
Now with the drums removed, the brake system is ready for its re-building. The necessary parts have been sitting in the Patrician's trunk for weeks and with any luck and quite a bit of coffee, in a few weeks, as time permits, the Patrician may have a working brake system for the first time in years (decades?)! Photos will be coming as soon as I replace the batteries in my digital camera.
