Default Re: '40 rear axle tapered spindle

Best by far would be to use grinding compound with the drum:
Remove the key, put some compound on the taper, install the drum with the nut just tight enough to allow you to spin the drum by hand. This removes all burrs and blemishes from both drum and taper, and mates the pair to each other.
