    Swedged stud, hub, drum removal

    Yes, I mean the new ones. They are definitely larger than my old ones. I ordered them from rock auto Wagner BD61253 for front 11" drums. They have a .650 knurl. I will try to take the old one to the local store as you suggest. Thanks

    Swedged stud, hub, drum removal

    Thanks for the help. Here's where I'm at now. I used the 5/8" hole saw in my drill press and drilled around each stud about an 1/8" into the old drum. The hub came out with a light tap. I knocked the studs out of the hub with a hammer. They came out easily. Now my studs appear too big in...

    Swedged stud, hub, drum removal

    Thanks, I'm sure I can get the old studs out, even if I have to cut and grind then flush to the drum. I just don't want to damage the hub.

    Very sunny and warm here today, let the fury sit out in sun for a few hours and top works much better. Still doesn't go down flush, but close. I can get the boot on. I think I'm good to go now. Thanks for all the tips and concern for my issue.

    Thanks, yes, I have owned the charger since 1992. Paint was done by high school biotech students. Not sure of paint code, but is original color.
