Rear = no mods to drums, but I had to remove bevel on inner lug nuts for wheels to sit flush against wheel hubs.
Frt has to be machined not only for valve stem clearance but also wheel to sit flush against hubs.
The pin in the "scallops" is the steering lock (when key is off).
Yes the plate is keyed to the shaft.
There is a heavy spring under that plate pushing up against the snap ring.
EDIT; Doghead nailed it.
There is a tool that screws on the steering shaft that presses the black plate down. Once the plate is pressed down remove the snap ring on the shaft. Remove tool & the plate slides off.
It can be done without tool but it is much harder to do.
