Question. Planning on a axle swap on my 64 Polara. I need to change backing plates and drums . Planing on 10x 2.5 . So can I use any of the internals , as brake adjusters or spredder bar , springs etc.
That's exactly what I just did to my 64 Plymouth. Except, I used a 11/16" hole saw without a drill bit in the arbor to cut the swages around the lug studs. Went slow, used plenty of oil, and got all 10 studs cut out with one hole saw. (I did break 3 teeth, but it kept working.)Here's another option: Mopar Tapered Axle Brakes

I kept the original axles and hubs. I just wrote up a posting on doing this and put it out on here. > Converting early taper axles/hubs to use later removable brake drums and all RH lug studs.What axles did you use
