What am I doing wrong.

[Grumps]

After being unable to locate a good reliable shop that had experience with swedging the hub to the drum I started to look for information and alternative ways to replace the front brakes. I talked to a few of the local guys that I've known that have built and worked on old cars all their lives and the one thing that every one of them asked was why did the hub and the brake drum have to be swedged together. On cars in the early 40's the studs were pressed onto the hub and the brake drums were held on the hub by tire rim and lug nuts. Now my question is, why can't this work on my Model A? If the only reason that it can't be done is because that's not the way that it was done back in 1930 then something is wrong. I'm not trying to upset anyone with what I'm trying to do. I just want to fix my car so that I can drive and enjoy it and be safe. This is not the first old car that I've had or worked on, but it is my first Model A.
