Does anyone know what is involved in swapping out drums/shoes from the 11" x 2" drums/shoes to the 11-5/32 drum & 2-3/4" shoes? Inside specs are almost identical. Wheels are the same 5x5.

Drums are deeper of course but otherwise, what would be the problem with a swap? I would really like to use the larger pads if I could!

Thanks for any responses
