The original studs are swedged; the swedge needs to be cut to remove the original drums. The swedge is easily cut with a 5/8" hole saw. The original studs will no longer work and would be too short anyway as the cast drums are thicker than the original drums. Boling Bros lists the part number for the studs on their website and also sell a kit with serrated studs and a reamer, or you just get studs locally if you have the means to open the holes to .60.
