Re: Brake blues!



Damn this sounds like I really screwed up lol I probably won't be able to find a hub+drum combo on the Internet new huh? Thatd make things oh south easier! Those studs will work on my 64? I'll definitely bring it to a machine shop, hopefully I can find one around here where someone has played with mopars before. Ima save this email just In case I don't and I have to tell someone how to do it. Man, if only lake Charles didn't suck!

First you need replacement studs.
I've done a search on studs and I found Imperial used #2405144 in 1963. I'm not sure if that is the same stud your car used, but I'm guessing it is.
You'd need to find someone with a Hollanders manual to confirm that they would indeed work on your car.
I doubt any brake shops in Louisiana will be able to help you with this.
They will probably ruin what you have left that is still salvageable.

After you've been fortunate enough to locate useable studs, then you can think about removing studs, but I'm guessing that you are going to have to drill away the swedged shoulder of the studs, then press out the remaining stud with a hydraulic press. Not a hammer.
You aren't going to be able to do any of what I'm proposing without careful measuring.
You've ruined the drum, but you don't want to ruin the hub.
A machine shop may be your best bet, if you are intent on using your hub.
I wouldn't trust some knot head young guy at your local brake shop.
They've probably never seen anything like what you have, and whoever you engage to remove those studs needs to have a clear understanding of exactly what they are doing.
They are going to have to use a drill bit that is sized to the outside diameter of the stud shoulder. Not the threads, and by no means no larger than the stud shoulder.

To Swage or swedge is usually defined as re-shaping metal to a desired form.
An example is to form a swage nipple, creating a pipe nipple that is funnel shaped. A pipe nipple that has two different pipe diameter ends. Usually a 1/2"x 3/4" , a 3/4"x1" , etc, or put more simply, a reducer.
Normally both ends are concentric, but not always.
