separating front hub from drum?

If you press out the studs without cutting off the swedge you will mess up the holes in the hubs and they will be trash

That's exactly right. The correct size studs will no longer work if you simply press them out. Also, if you intend on reusing the drum, you can forget that too, because it will tear the drum. Ask me how I know.
