Brake drum problem

Some of these have a SWEDGE on the top of the stud knurl. THIS MUST BE REMOVED, or you will destroy the drum. Someone may chime in, but "someone" makes a swedge cutter, a tools sort of like a hole saw which fits down over the stud and cuts the swedge down.

Think of it just like a rivet.
+1 on this. If it's all original, It's semi permanently connected to the hub. I ran into this on my 66 Dart If memory serves me.
