I have a machinist friend who has 3 Model As and has never swaged a wheel stud on any of them. He leaves the drum loose but (I think) welds the back of the studs to hold them in place. He can do any work on the brakes without removing hubs etc, just take off the wheel and slip off the drum and there it is.
