Here is my rear drum and 2 piece axle setup. So i gather that in order to inspect and repair the brakes i am going to have to pull the hub off the axleshaft. Since the studs need to be replaced anyway, can i cut out the old ones, remove the drum from the hub, install new modern studs and have the drum removable from the hub for ease of use?

on another note, my front drums use bolts that thread into the hub like a Mercedes instead of studs. They are reverse threads on the driver's side like other pre 70s Mopars though.
