So Scarebird it is!

Started my conversion this weekend. Everything came off fairly easy minus the dust cover bolts, but a soak with Pb Blaster and they finally came loose.
I tried to drill out the studs from the backside of the hub, but I don't have a drill press and by hand was going to take forever and tiresome.
I'm going to take the hubs to a shop to see if they can drill them out.
I have new longer studs that are the OEM knurled type.

I'm in the middle of a Scarebird conversion on my 69 Barracuda. I have one side just about done. Some one here suggested a 5/8" hole saw to deal with the swaged studs. I bought one and I have to say it worked great. Slickest thing I ever saw to deal with the swaging. The 10" drums on he car had been cut way over 10.125" so they were scrap any way. I used the hole saw to cut completely through the drum. I put one of the old lug nuts on the studs and a few whacks with a hammer and the studs came right out of the hubs. I used Dorman 610-156 studs as suggested by Scarebird and they pressed right in.

All in all that 5/8" hole saw made the whole stud removal/replacement painless as could be.
