    Had to get new frt drum on my 62 comet. took it to a shop and they pressed the bearings in the hub. however they ground down the studs a little to get old drum off. ( thought this was to be machine pressed. thats why it went to shop)now the new drum is not tight and snug. more like a back drum. is this ok? if not how do i correct this? new studs? any help appreciated. thanx, mike

    Figured it out. as long as drum stays tight to center hub all is well it can float like a rear drum. Thanx
