And in this instance "Never Seize" can be a good thing. Liberally lube the anchor pins with it and the bore of the spider before re-assembly. It may not help in 20 years but it sure will in 10.

It is not a never seeze problem,it is a grease problem. Not enough Grease . Grease your brake anker pins and camshaft regulary. It will never hapened again.

I found with the best bushing drivers, including some that are custom made. The fit of the different types of anchor pins or rollers need a good fit. This check after bushing replacement I think needs to be a dry fit check. A nice tool to touch up this job, I have relied on is a brake cyl. hone.
I like the anti sieze product, and a little dab will do ya. Just speaking about it I got some on me

Good day

Murphy strikes again! I had to remove the hub to use the Pin Press, and just to reinforce Dave5C & TomC, the hub had been packed with grease, the axel nut was not properly snugged, AND the race was pitted. I did not clean up the bearing yet, but I assume it is bad too. Well, at least that is the end of the rabbit hole for one wheel.
I checked the bearing prices.... holy cow. $90 for front bearing, $180 for back, not including races. The axel nut was in poor shape and lock washer was not serviceable anymore, so I'm sure that will be another Franklin too.

I suppose every wheel will be the same and need repair till I make my way all around the bus.. Someone recently mentioned that complaining about fuel prices were the least of the concerns when owning a bus... Case and Point.

For posterity pictures below are of the brake shoe anchor pins and the tool that removed them in 30 seconds, axel and spider. Amazing.

since you needed to "break them loose", title was appropriate...
