It's TF time!  I've been working like a dog trying to breathe life
into a TC, while a recently acquired TF has been sitting in the wings.
Thinking I'd about reached TC burn out I took the TF for a quick ride
and then remembered how bad the brakes had been.  Suspecting the rear,
I pulled the wheels (spoke) and the drums to look at the linings.
Linings are ok, but two drum studs are loose on each side.  Rats!
What is the way to fix this?  I see that the studs are available from
the usual suspects but am thinking that if the old ones spun wouldn't
the carrier be screwed up as well?  Or is it usualy just the studs?
>From a quick look at Blowers, I gather that I've got a lot of "stuff"
to take apart before I get the hub in my hand.  I assume that the
studs can't be inserted with the hub still on the axle shaft?  Any
insights would be apperciated.
