Re: 64 Axles

[Stevan Miner <miner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Butch,
I should have specified axles from 1965 and up. The earlier ones has a 
tapered shaft that held the drum assembly on with a nut and washer. That 
style axles have shims. The actual adjuster on the 65 and up axles is 
separate from the axle and is incorporated in the bearing retainer plate. In 
order to get it off the axle, you would have to press the axle bearing off. 
I see no reason why the axles couldn't be switched from side to side other 
than the fact of the left hand lug nuts should be on the left side of the 
car.
