Which way would be best? Or is there another option for putting them in?
Another question: Am I pressing/pulling/hammering them through the brake drum AND the wheel hub? Or do they just slip through one or the other? |
I have pulled them with the nuts. If I remember the studs actually have rivet lines that only rivet to the hub, they are smooth between the hub and drum, as they just act like a bolt pulling the drum tight against the hub. The rivets of course, are to keep the studs from turning and to ensure a tight alignment to the hub.
