59 Super 88 Break Drum Problem!!!!

I got replacement front drums, the studs in my hub are loose. Pressed out the studs, the holes are not all the exact same size. Can't find anyone who still pressed drums on? I need studs, some one to press them? Lots are telling me I don't need to press the drum on, just the studs into the hub? ANY/ALL HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!!! Thanks.

Pressing the studs through the hub and new drum is simple for any machine shop with a hydraulic press. If the shop in question has no clue, find a shop that does. If the studs are loose in the hub, use a tack weld to hold them in place. You do not want the stud spinning when you try to remove the lug nuts later.
