I find the two large flat-headed tapered seat screws holding the drum to the bearing/axle hub rather refreshing. I have this same 3/4 ton Dana 60 rear end, and my drums were pressed on to the hubs over the studs, making them a pain in the arse to get apart, not to mention necessitating having to replacing the studs.

Rather than go thru all that, I got hubs from a donor truck and secured new 12" x 2 1/2" drums to the hubs with those delightful screws.
