Default Re: Cast Drums

I worked on a car that had a couple of the studs tack welded in. Of course they were loose. So I had to have new studs pressed in. I bought the right tool and found a local auto parts dealer who had a shop in the back with a press large enough to do the job. I forget how much force is needed but it is on the order of 8 tons. Your best bet is Randy Gross as Dick M said. He can turn the drums and fit the shoes too.
