"Oh yeah, with drum retainers, that's for sure."

Clip type retainers are better than nothing but as long as you will have it all apart you might want to consider the full safety retainers that have the weld on ring.
Cheap insurance.

Royal Ryser, NO WAY lap the axle with power!!!! A good way to lose a hand or something else....Relax and do it right. Back and forth under hand pressure, pull back, rotate 90 degres, back and forth under hand pressure, rotate 90 degrees etc etc etc.
