the bad news never ends, always a surprise of the improper work done by prior owners to cut corners, they welded the studs, the hub is probably warped, the drum was loose when I took it off. This car can be more aggravating then an American women.

I know some fellas go out to the garage and work on their hobby just to get away from an aggravating woman. I don't think the woman even has to be American.
But, you're right. It never does end. As RoseAnn RoseAnna Danna used to say, 'Its always something'.

i agree with RoseAnn RoseAnn Danna when working on getting the 31 on the road.
Some days I feel like I get a couple steps ahead, then every thing I touch seems to go south.

Luckily the welds were not hitting the e-brake carrier like they were on the chassis for the delivery. Also the seals were shot so it was all covered with 600W. Everything as far as the rear brakes were a total loss other than the backing plates, this included the shoes with near NOS linings. Rod

It does feel that way, but we still cant stop, and we continue to go for more.

Maybe they were doing the best they had with what was available.

Mine were welded on when I got it and have worked well for many years.

I think its a better way to go, but I was told if there is any play it will damage the hub and brakes.

Unless they were put in crooked, or the threads are damaged, I wouldnt worry too much about the studs being welded in. You probably wont live live long enough to count all the cars, trucks, race cars etc. that had the studs welded on the back side and were run with no problems.
What was your original problem?

Good Luck!

I was just told its not designed to be that way, and it would cause future problems, but if its not a problem, I prefer to keep it as is.

The next owner can blame you for the welds!
