Unless you need to work on the brake leave it alone.
The half shafts come out all by their lonesome. The only other thing needed is to pivot the hub out with the strut rods. The cam bolt does that.

It would be good to check the E. brake as you can expect some of the return springs to be broken. Check if the unnecessary rivets are still in the rear rotor, if so drill out & remove rivets.
The tech. writers looked the situation over, made a guess & ran.

"NOTE: The head of the rear hold down spring pin is not accessible. It will be necessary to hold the pin in position with one pair of needle nose pliers while attempting to grasp the pin end with another pair of needle nose pliers."
Rear discs. since 65. Above from 77 manual. Bold added.
The one place on the car that a procedure would be good (w/ spindle in).
