Default Re: Removing 4 Bad Drums from 4 Good Hubs

My method is different from any posted here. I simply cut the stud off as close to the old drum as possible and grind it flush. Once all are ground, I center punch each and drill them with a 1/2" bit just enough to go through the drum with the tip of the bit. I then support the drum on a pipe just large enough to let the stud drop into it and drive the stud out with a 16oz hammer and a drift. There is no way to warp a hub with a small hammer and drift if the drill cuts most of the swedge. FWIW.
