By coincidence (or conspiracy), a new video popped up in my YouTube showing an Australian Mopar mechanic modifying a 58 New Yorker’s rear drums so he won’t have to remove the taper to get the drum off. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_bsYO8jXdo I thought there was a problem in centring the drum if they didn’t press on the studs but this doesn’t seem to be an issue in the video. Comments are welcome but I have no stake in this. I have the plate remover designed by a Club member and have found it to be easy enough to use. I also give the taper a light wipe of Moly grease to stop corrosion. Note that not long ago I had a chat with a woman with a beautiful Australian Charger that was restored by the guy in this video so he isn’t a backyard hack.

All went reasonably well, everything considered. The previous owner had applied neverseize which probably helped. Thanks to everyone who responded. I had watched Bob's video and looked over John's tech article. Is it possible to source a replacement support plate with operating cams? For some reason that I don't understand, my computer won't let me respond to the original thread?
