make sure to repack your bearings while you have it apart

Clean the roller bearings really well and check for signs of pitting on the rollers and races. If they look good then re-pack them with wheel grease, if they look pitted at all, replace them. You might also want to replace all the drum hardware including the springs and hold down pins. I know fighting old rusty springs and bent pins sucks and a complete replacement kit should be pretty cheap.
