10 x 1.75" Drum Install

I think you will encounter great difficulty doing it in that fashion. The backing plates need to be anchored in order to facilitate installing the shoes. The springs are a LOT stronger than you might imagine. You will find that out the hard way I am afraid if you try to install the shoes on the backing plate without it being bolted to the axle housing. But you know what? Different strokes for different folks. If you think you can do it, knock it out man. I think you're gonna have trouble with it. Good luck if you decide to try. Wear safety glasses.
