RE: Rear Drums/Hubs

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think htey just stay together from a tight fit with the studs and the 
hub. When I replaced mine it must've been a little loose and the drums 
would come off fairly easily after that with the hubs staying in place. 
Seemed kinda handy to me.
