DIY Drum Brake removal tool

Anyone see any problems with it? I have not built it yet but I certainly will take pics.

kman521 I am concerned about knocking the wheel studs back in. I did this before and I was not able to reseat them afterwards. Which is why I needed to replace them.

if it's the car in your avatar it's because the studs are swedged in and you need to remove the swedge before you pound the studs through to the back side. it will open up the stud holes. if you don't remove the swedge before trying to remove them you'll be unable to press back in original style studs. I'm assuming your talking about the fronts (that's where they are swedged on at). I have not looked at the rear setup in a while and can't comment on those.
