I use a 9/16 hole saw like Jim. Just be careful you don't go too deep then just whack the old stud and it pops out. I bring the hub and drum to the auto machine shop and they swage in new ones. Don't bother getting the so called swaging tool as it's not hardened steel and will mush out under the 30 ton press, let them use their own.
