disc brake wheel stud swedge tool

The fact is, the only way they came from the factory was "swedged" studs. If the rotor has been replaced then there is no "swedge", and I would not add it either. It is just something to be aware of. The poor guy in Australia probably would preferred to cut the "swedge" and easily hammer or press the studs out of his original hubs. I grew up with these cars, and in the beginning rotors were not sold without the hubs and "swedged" studs. There are probably few hubs left original, but it is worth mentioning. There probably is a tool to "swedge them back, but like you, I don't see any advantage.
That is just plain incorrect, falsehood statement, that the "factory" KH brakes were swedged from the get go, day one.
I too have taken many original, never been replaced, rotor and hub assemblies apart in my "career" of mechanics in my lifetime.
Then explain to me how i never, ever, came across one that was swedged together in my lifetime, ("career") of doing brakes?
Been around the Mopars myself forever too, buying my first Mopar, 71 Cuda, factory ordered, back in the day.
Very true, back in the OLD days rotors for those Kelsey Hayes brakes were sold, rotor and hub assembly.
But that hasn't got anything to do with them being swedged together, what this guys thread is all about.
