Default More Brakes, How Far To Cut Swage??

Greetings,
My front drums are worn out. You can see the warning hole on the inside, in fact it is well past the warning slot. Until recently, front drums for a 52 were "out of stock" . Anywho, Chas Carpenter just listed them as IN stock, so I ordered me a pair and got them quickly.
Now, all the great stuff that I have been reading on The Barn comes into play.
Foist, yagotta get a 5/8" hole saw.
Next , yagotta cut the swage.
Then, ya find ya self a friend wit a 2 ton press, and pop the Hub outta the drum.
Then, ya spend a small fortune buying new studs.
Then, ya pop the old studs outta the Hub.
Then, ya expand the stud hole to .600 to accommodate the new studs.
Then, ya press in the new studs.
Then ya press the Hub into the New drum.
Then, ya rebuild the bearings if needed & replace the grease seal.
Did I miss anything??
Attached are some pics of the drums: I cut 1 with the hole saw, after I had to modify it to fit (that's a yudder story).
Did I cut deep enuff???
I only did one drum so I far.
