Oh so you replaced the old treadle vac with a new unit. Dual master cylinder? thats a better idea.

Yes rear drums require proper tool I have one and will show you in pic here.

This is the tool here. Its a must if you own a Hudson. When you put drums back on use a little anti seize makes it easier next time.
