Ford brakes were the same for about 15 years ('49-'63). If you back off the adjustment using the star wheel, the drum should slip off when pulled by hand. The only feature on the rear brakes that can be troublesome, is the retainer clip for the parking brake lever. You will probably only have to do this job once in your lifetime, so you might as well replace all wear items.
