Tapered Axle Removal

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I have a question (or two) about removing the tapered axles from my 
wife's 64 Polara 500.

I have removed the brake drums and can easily remove the 5 nuts that 
hold the axle and backing plate to the axle tube.  My question is "since 
I can easily remove the nuts that hold the axle in place, do I really 
need to remove the hub (that is actually doing nothing now since the 
brake drum has been removed)?

Another question is "Are axle seals and standard style bearings 
available for the 64 axle housing?

Please to advise.

Thanks.

K.
