RE: 1959 to 1963 rear axle shaft

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I suspect that since the axles for all the Mopars (except the A bodies 
in 64) were all tapered axles, they did not specifically call them that.

The 64 manual describes how to take them apart and put them back.  This 
group has discoverd that there are a few tricks that are not mentioned 
in the FSM.

1) the rear brake drums will separate from the hubs by driving in some 
of the studs about 1/8".  The drum will pop off the hub.

2) the hub can be removed from the axle by using a heavy duty puller 
that uses the lug nuts to hold it in place and then, after the nut is 
loosened, an impact gun on the puller will vibrate off the hub.

3) a piece of chain connected to the studs when thrown, will be enough 
of a pulling force to pull the axles from the tube (once the backing 
place is removed).

Please keep us posted on your progress.

Regards,

K.
