Don't the wheel studs stick out of the drum? I've always just pulled the drum off, heated the studs up with a propane torch and hammered 'em out.

Then sprayed the stud holes with some wd40 and scrubbed 'em out with a small wire brush, then put the new studs in. Most times a gentle tap on them get 'em seated nice and tight.. altho if they don't sink in flush with a few light taps, i'll bolt an old rim to the drum to pull 'em into place.

Then just put the drum back on and down the road you go.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
