That crimp (swedged)can be a real problem pressing the old studs out, it can ruin the hub by making it bend if you don't use a spacer behind it when removing the old stud. I think you would be smart to try and grind that crimp down some before starting to press them out

Ok, a cut off wheel work? and then what holds the drum on? the wheel and lug nut?
 you got it, a lot of cars come with no drum retainers, some come with retainers and Ma Mopar had a better way,swedging, usually on the drivers side with the left hand threads on the studs and nuts  my 1963 Belevedere M.W. car had swedging on both front drums from the factroy Be careful on the grinding, don't mess the threads up on the studs if you want to reuse them again some day
