I think I know what your saying
But it seems the swedge on the lugs protruded passed the hub and when they installed the drums and torqued down the rims, they expanded a but, clamping down on the drums?
Maybe, I don't know
But the drums should slide on and off, if all is well
The tight splines are not "swedges", they are there to provide a conforming grip when the studs are drawn or pressed (hammered?:eek:) in. The studs on front hubs w/drums are
equipped with intentionally longer splines that are then swaged after the drums are slipped on to retain them. This can be done w/a solid sleeve like fixture, or a sleeve/bit type
that puts a number of stakes in the protruding section of stud spline. These drums are not supposed to slide off, the same as later rear drums on Mopar's FWD stuff.
