Good idea to give the new assy a light turn to be sure.

Same way we do Buick alum drums on the outside flange hubs.

* Could as an alternative, cut the head of the stud off and tap them out from the inside; either way works.
Thanks, Rich. Yes, for sure will get them a "truing up" turn. Rather have a drum at .010" v. .060"
