Hey Guys,
I am redoing the rear drums on my 64 New Yorker and am at a crossroads about what to do. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of these tapered axles so I can service them easier. I don't have a problem with the drums, but I DO have a problem with the Drum/Hub assembly as one unit.
My stock Drum/Hub assembly is cracked so I have to replace it. I would like to do away with the tapered axles and install newer flange axles so I could slide on some drums without the hub attached (hope that makes sense).
Anyone have any suggestions? Would any later Mopar axles fit? I think mine are the 30 spline/31.5 inch tapered axles. I already converted the front to discs, just want to clean up the rear drums is all. Is there a way to solve this without having to remove the entire rear end (pumpkin, gear, etc.)?
Thanks,
Mike
