... In 30 years a professional auto mechanic, wrenching on cars and trucks for a living, i have worked on them all, Kelsey Hayes, Bendix, BUDD, Delco Morane, and probably every foreign brake system that you can think of in a modern car.
In that length of time i NEVER came across a rotor and hub assembly, that wouldn't come apart by pressing out the studs, swedged or not.
A 12 ton, or 20 ton press, or anything in between is gonna get those studs out, no matter what.
So in the long run who needs to give a crap, if swedged or not.
DRUM brakes, yes, swedged, Disc brakes, never gave it any concern, as all i needed to do was go over to the press, get the job done, out the door, earn my living.
And boy, i never would want you as a customer of mine, anyway.... Tell me how the hell your gonna damage a hub, if your gonna use a bfh on the studs?
You must have a lousy aim if you miss the stud on your swing.
Guess you could put a dent in it, but i think that's all that will happen.
