hi, If I recall right, just undo the 5 lug in the center of the 8 lugs wheel and remove. you should have access to the center of the axle. Hope I am correct in my info

god luck.

BTW if you want to sell the 8 lugs, let me know,,,,

thank you

daniel

 Yep you'll have to find some 66 US Pontiac 5" X 5 stud drums!!  Did this with my 64 Catalina after I broke a brake drum steel liner on the 8 lug!!!  I liked the 8 lug appearance but they were a PITA to balance. New rims made a big change in how it rides & a pleasure to drive now
