I'm in the final stages of putting together the aft end of my '67. Brake shoes, cylinders, adjusters, lines, springs, and hardware are all new.

I'm ready to bleed the system and re-fit the the drums at this point. Is it possible to bleed and verify everything is moving as expected before reinstalling the drums? Or will the pressure generated by the wheel cylinders just overcome the springs and pop the pistons out if I pump the brakes without drums constraining everything?

I'm fairly confidant everything is up to snuff and should work fine, but the drums are such a chore to remove I'd rather know everything is working properly before putting them back on.
