disc brake wheel stud swedge tool
Pretty much going to cut to the chase here. There is no procedure to cut the swedge on K-H disc and Hub assemblies. The whole hub, disc and studs assembly was to be replaced. That is why no disc was offered. I worked for Chrysler. I'm going to throw the BS flag, since I know I had the last 4 K-H Disc and Hub assemblies drilled from the rear to not risk damaging my original hubs. I merely offered this caution, when you had to call me a liar. Even after the poor guy in Australia ran into the same thing, you stood by your ignorance at all cost to you. Since you can not understand how the Disc and Hub assemblies could have been swedged together like the front drums from back in the day you denied the existance of the possibility of swedged studs on the K-H disc assemblies. It is irrelevant what you have seen or not.
For everybody else, the real way to tell if you have swedged studs in your K-H hub and disc assemblies is to simply measure the stud where it protrudes from the hub. If it measures larger than the stud through hole in the hub, .543 inch diameter, The stud is swedged and the swedge should be cut to make pressing out the stud easier.
The above pictures are the stud without swedge, notice the original chamfer.
