I finally got everything in to do my brake overhaul.  So far I have the rear finished might need to do some shoe adjustment.  But in doing the front I started on the driver side and after pulling the hub and drum assembly off on my '56 I decided to clean up the bearings and repack them.  While I was cleaning out the old grease using my finger I noticed the rear bearing race was actually spinning as I was wiping the grease out.  I tried to pull it out by hand and I couldn't.

So since I never ran into something like this before I wanted to ask could buying new bearing/race correct this issue, I don't know how long it was drove with the race spinning and I don't know what caused it.  Or should I just buy a new drum/hub assembly.

I hate to buy a new bearing and race and it does the same thing but I also hate to spend $100 for a new drum/hub assembly when a bearing and race would fix this issue.

If someone can let me know in a timely manner that would be great as I have to order some replacement parts as well as some shoes as I didn't know if it needed them or not and it does on the front.
