Default Re: New brake drum and hub assembly

"If you have a press large enough to swage the studs". Do not overestimate the size or capacity of the press you use. A 20 ton HF press will NOT do the job. It takes 25 tons or more to get the studs tight. At 20 tons they ( the studs) will look tight and to the touch they will feel tight, but when the vibrating and pressure is applied at the wheel they can and will come loose. Then u is got problems. ken
