Chipster Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Anyone know how they used to turn the rear drums on a 19955 Dodge or other Mopars on the brake lathe? The rear drums obviously have the tapered hole for the axle shaft to fit through. Since the outboard (Smallest of the tapered portion) hole is just over one inch, finding a cone that fits the ID of the drum isn’t something available, when trying to mount it on the 1” brake lathe shaft. There must have been a Chrysler service kit that adapted these to the brake lathe. Any info or reference to literature would be great. Thanks, Kerry Edited May 17, 2022 by Chipster No response.

Mark Gregush Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Find someone that can do early VW or Model A Ford drums or has older drum lathe. They should have the smaller spindle and tapers to hold the drums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipster Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 Yes, I understand there is a 11/16 spindle also. I bet using this spindle size instead of the standard 1” wouldn’t have had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
