Front Drum Brake Question for 1965 442

Just starting to tear into this project, so I wanted to get the brakes dialed in. I removed the drum and hub as a unit. I see that most auto parts places sell the drums and have found some that sell the hub assembly. My questions is to remove the hub from the drum: Do you push out the lugs to unlock the hub from the drum or do you push the complete hub (from the center) to release it from the drum? Here a a few photos of the assembly. Thanks for the help.

Push out the studs, then the hub should come off easily.

Great! Thanks for the info. One drum looks like it can be turned the other was down to rivets. I will replace both drums as the hubs look good. Installation of the new drums is the same? Just push the lugs back into the new drum? Thanks.

Yes, the studs have splines in them as you press them in they should fit tight.
