by westcoastvanner Sun Sep 08, 2013 9:46 pmMine is the same, the front right drum is attached to the hub. Is this the same on all A100's? I was going to try and press the drum off of the hub, but I think I am going to wait until I hear from you other mechanics out there.

On some older vehicles a swedge fit was normal.You have to remove the studs first or you will bend the drum when you press it off.It was also common to remove hub and drum as an assembly.Always want to look at the bearings anyway.

The hub and drum were swedged together at the factory.
Probably so people would
1. inspect the dearings and hopefully repack each time the brakes were inspected.
2. because the drum wasn't thick enough at the center to ensure it could be installed and be perfectly concentric each time.
There are at least 2-3 threads on how to remove a drum from the hub properly without causing damage to hard-to-find parts. A quick overview is that the drum/stud swedge must be cut away before pressing the studs out or the hub will be bent.
As for why this was done, it may have had the left front cut oversize and replaced, but more likely someone swapped the studs to right hand thread.

awesome thanks man. I am just gonna leave it. Just wanted to make sure nothing was weird.
Any tips on tie rods (end package)? There seem to be a ton of them out there, trying to get the right ones.
