Good how to, but they did not mention one thing. When
you are useing the hub puller, put the large castle nut on backwards or use a
soft metal block between the tip of the puller threaded shaft and the end of the
axle. put the backwards castle nut on till it is flush with the axle
end. This is to keep the threads on the end of the axle from getting
deformed. Also these hubs can come of with a BANG and the nut keeps the
hub and drum from flyingoff and hitting

Re: Would like to get rid of the 1964 tapered axle rear

Do you actually have a real reason for wanting to change
the rear end?
It seems that your concern is that it's harder to maintain
your brakes, but this can be overcome without tossing out your tapered axles.
It's a bit of work, but it can make things better in the future without the
complications of changing the rear end.
First you have to grind off the greater part of your wheel
lugs, then drill into them so they will collapse when you hammer the remaining
bit through the flange, you do need to avoid damaging the holes in the flange.
Drums, new ones from NAPA, are not expensive, get some new standard lugs out
of a pair of later model axles. 'Later model' might include those out of a
whole bunch of vehicles, like Dakotas, other pickups or post-'65 sedans. If
you want to retain left hand threads you need to get these from pre-74 models
IIRC.
The next point I'd like to raise is that I believe (though
I don't remember where I got the information, probably John Kunkel on
Moparchat) the '64 rear end is wider drum to drum than other B-body axles
prior to 1970.
And then there's the issue of your centre's spacer block
being a different size, so if you went to put your pumpkin into a later
housing you will run into trouble adjusting the axle
clearances.
