I have never come across a swaged brake drum before. Yes the holes are slightly larger now, but is that going to be that much of a problem? I mean when your running down the road, with all lugs tightened, what could go wrong? I'm not trying to be a butt about this,but I've owned and worked on a lot of my own cars over the years, and never encountered such a thing. Why would you seriously need the studs swaged? Just wondering if it's absolutely necessary. I just thought of something, why aren't the rear drums swaged on?



The problem will rear it's head at 2 am on a dark and lonely night when your trying to remove a flat and the studs are spinning.
