63 dart front hub install

The original studs are "riveted" so to speak (swaged) at the top. YOU MUST use a tool to remove the swage, and then the new drums can just "sit" on the studs just exactly like the rears do. I have no idea why the factory thought they "needed" that in the day.

Rusty posted on here you can use a hole saw with no pilot, in a press
