10 inch drums front bearing hub removal

I've never had the swedge removal tool,, the way I take them out so they don't enlarge the hole to the point the new stud won't "seat" securely,, is,, I drill, cut, and/or grind the head off the stud,, and punch it out the front,, This'll prevent having to weld the new studs in,, which seldom works well...

Definately do not pound a "swedged" stud back thru the hub,, as it'll damage the hub..

But I think the swedge tool would be way superior,, if at all avail..

cheers
