I am new to the forum, I did a search but could have missed a previous post if this has already been discussed I apologize. I was working on the rear brakes on my newly acquired 64 fury, using a puller to remove the outer flange and drum. Unfortunately it split the outer end of the axle shaft. I have not had any luck finding a replacement.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement shaft or a shaft that will convert it from the 2 piece to a 1 piece design? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nathan

I think Summit has one piece shafts but I think you need to cut it to length.

All have what you need but if you can find a mone piece shaft for a later later that will work.
I've been assuming you have a 83/4 axel something you need to know.
I would also try usedpart.com...

I did check on Summit, however I will probably have to call as their website said they did not have a direct replacement listing for it. Do you know if any of the later axle shafts are a direct replacement but updated design for these? Did chrysler keep the same housing/rearend and just change the design of the shafts?

Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona..... Maybe up to 1965.... Is that the Axle with the adjustable bearing flange to the outside of the bearing ?????

This axle has a tapered roller bearing that holds the axle into the axle tube via the backing plate for the drums, I believe. The outside flange that the wheels/drum hold onto is removable and is held onto the tapered axle shaft with a keyway and large center nut.

I believe 64 was the last year for this design. I was wondering if anyone knew if any later years are a direct replacement axle shaft for this style

I forgot about the bearings, try parts for a 65 Fury, the last time I needed an axel I went out to my local yard and picked one up.I was looking to replace two big bolt pattern axels from a big Chrysler with the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. They had racks of mopar axels so whith a tape measure I picked out what I needed...
I would think there would be a salvage yard you can call locally.

Thanks, I appreciate all the help. I have not been able to figure out what newer years fit and we do not have any salvage yards in my area to match up axles. I may have found a conversion kit through a local drive line company that should come with all new 1 piece shafts, bearings and retainers. I will update if anyone is interested in the future.
