"Explain "worn out". The bearings, races and studs can all be replaced" I already have new bearings and races!
Stumpy, the bearings were making a noise and we determined that the seats of the hubs were worn too much. Thats why I ordered new drums figuring that I would only have to replace the bearings and races.

do the races fall out when you turn over the hubs ? if not then there is nothing wrong with them , drive out the old race and drive in the new using the proper tools .

as far as the lug nuts , cut them off and grind around the swaging till the drum comes off ,then you can get the old lugs out without damaging the hubs .

if the drums are thin on that 11" setup you're going to have to do this same thing anyway as the 11" won't have hubs either , if you can find them ...

does your car have 11" drums on the rear ? if not you're going to screw up your braking bias running 11" on the front and 10" on the rear
