Re: Brake woes

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If it's like the front hubs on my dart, originally the drums were 
swedged to the hub on the knurls at the end of the lug studs.  There is 
a swedge cutting tool that fits around the lug stud that can be used to 
cut the swedged kunrls and the drum (Can Slightly enlarge the hole).  
Then hub can be pressed out of the drum, if cutting the swedging didnt 
release it.

Done right, the hub and the drum survive.

Done wrong, holes can be enlarged in the hub such that they have to get 
oversized knurl studs to be able to fit.  Or drum can end up bent at the 
hub and be worthless.

On the new drum's, once your lugnuts are on and torqued down, the wheel 
holds the drum from moving.
