 final assembly.

Hi Jeff,
Sounds like a neat idea.  The only problem is that as usual I started the 
job, ran into difficultly and then sought advice.  The studs are almost all 
the way in and it looks like I will have to continue using a drift/punch and 
hammer.  I guessed the brake drum will pull the studs up the rest of the way 
but I wanted the studs all the way in before assembly (these are w/w hubs) to 
be absolutely sure they are the right length - these are double bearing hubs 
on a w/w car that had to be modified already for the w/w.
