Hi folks,

Since we had a beautiful day here yesterday, Trevor and I got a  
little done on the '62 700 wagon's brakes.  We are doing a complete  
overhaul, new hoses, shoes, hardware, and cylinders.  According to my  
trusty shop manual, removing the rear wheel cylinders is just a  
matter of:

  - taking off the return springs and shoes (done)
  - removing the top pivot (done)
  - removing the hose (loose but still attached)
  - and then removing the cylinder.

The cylinder doesn't budge.  Any clues?  BTW, I have done a number of  
late models, this is clearly different.  I have not removed the axle  
since it's not in the steps.  Thanks for any suggestions.

--Bryan
