He is not trying to remove the studs. My 1968 Barracuda and my 1969 Dart were both taken off the way I said. The studs stayed in the hub. Maybe my new drums had large enough holes to go over the mushroomed studs.
Now when I had some studs that had been broke off I never got one out. I bought another hub off a member here and used it. My drum slipped rig over his studded hub. The member I got it from is from Califorina (Kilgroy I think) and has a late model blue Dodge pick up as his avatar. There was a picture of the hub in this posts.
I guess I didn't do it right but I did it and didn't damage anything. I wasn't about to give up my lefty studs that couldn't be replaced.
