Darn, just when I feel like things will move forward a wrench is thrown in the works.

Last night I went out to the shop. I shelf had fallen off the wall. The one with all my buckets of nails. And my air tools. And glass things. Poop.

After I cleaned that up. I got a spindle from the 55 2nd and a drum from the 'original' front end. The 'original' is something like a 50 that had the huck brake. I have not taken it apart like what is written earlier.

The hub from the 55 is long and the holding bolt does not go all the way on. The 'original' hub/drum is together and to take it apart will require all the studs be pressed out then there will be the hub, drum, and inner plate.

Question. If I either press the studs out with my vise or have them hydrolically pressed - do I put the inner plate on the hub before I press the studs back on? Will this work and the hub fit so I can change it over to Bendix brakes?

Anybody have the experience in doing this?

TIA
