Drum brake issues

So I broke a stud on the drum set up, brought it to a machine shop to hammer out and they bent the drum. Finding a new 9' front drum doesn't seem hard but I don't know if the hub is bent and or if I can even get it out. I can't find a used or new hub any where and my ultimate goal is disc brakes, so I'm questioning wasting more money on drum brake set up vs trying to figure out disc brakes now

The studs are swaged in where they press and mushroom them in after installing... Get a grinder/carbide bit and grind away some of the swage and then pound out the studs with a hammer.... If you put a nut on the ends of the threads before pounding, it helps not mess up the threads...
