64 Dart Front Drum Removal (and more!)

The swage rolls over the knurl area of the stud, if you then cut this area down you are weakening the stud right at the worst possible point. plus a new stud is under 2 dollars so why risk your safety. as far as using a file or dremel you possibly could but it would take quite awhile. the tool for cutting the swage is just put in a drill and takes a few minutes to remove all of them.
