After removing the original studs to separate a bad hub
I can not find new studs that will hold it all back in place?
Does any one know of a supplier for these type of studs?
Also left's and right's if possible.
Thanks! John

the new studs have to be swedged to the hub in order to hold it in place.
there is a tool to do that, but i don't have picture or a link.
think of a swedge like this. the exposed spline area of the stud after the drum is in place is flattened/peined over, capturing a small area of the drum around the stud holes with the stud.

Some believe that swaging is unnecessary. If your drum indexes off the hub snuggly, then swaging is not needed since the tightened wheel will keep the drum in place like the rear drums. If the fit on the hub isn't snug you risk having an out-of-round drum installation; in this case, swaging locks the drum to the hub.

If swaging is necessary the drum has to be turned after swaging to ensure roundness.
