Thats good news about the wheel bearings Ken as they can be quite expensive to replace.
Good luck with the brakes and remember before you remove the calipers secure the pads to them so the pistons don't push out too far. Check out Ecklers to see what I'm talking about as far as the tool and the clips.
Go to Ecklers.com type in 1972 for the year and then under the search type in brake tools
When I had problems getting the rotors off the emergency shoes in the past, I would use a rubber mallet to get the rotor off the shoes alternating sides while whacking it. Then once I could start to see the shoes I would use a big screwdriver to pry the rotor off the shoes also alternating sides. Naturally I would try to adjust the star wheel in first. Good luck and keep us posted.
