Don,

Your 72 souldn't have calipers on the back - just a wheel cylinder.

It is held in place with a small spring clip on the back of the backing
plate.  I bought new cylinders and they come with the clip to
reinstall.  The rear cyls are not expensive and getting "new" sure beats
trying to rebuild a frozen one.  You'll probably end up replacing it
soon after anyway....
