Thanks Don! I ordered another tool and took it to the same shop. If they can’t do it still, I’ll message you. Appreciate the offer!

I've used a silicon carbide disc on my grinder. I LOVE these things. Like this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gator-Power-Sanding-Silicon-Carbide-4-5-in-60-Grit-Paint-Stripping-Disc/1000346965

If there was somebody better qualified in the Savannah area, I'd gladly bring it to them.

Thanks guys! I guess I’ll order another one and try again.

I took my left reaf hub and drum to a shop to have them swage in some new wheel studs. They got one stud done and then the tool cracked in two places during the second one. I got the $8 "stud installation tool" from a vendor, Snyders I believe. Is there a better tool out there? I'm also...

I packed that rear bearing full of grease today and bolted it on. Put 100lb on the nut. No wobble at all! Guess it just needed tightened. I still need to get the lugs sorted but I’m glad the rest is all good. Thanks to everyone for the input!!

Sounds like the front ones are tightened like modern day cars. I can handle that.

Is the torque on the front hub also supposed to be 100 ft-lb?

Do you need loctite even with the cotter pin?

I think you’re on to something. The drum and hub came off very easily indeed. Had to put a puller on but it came off with just one turn by hand. Didn’t even put a wrench on it. Im going to put it back together and put 100ft-lb on it. Hopefully that will do it!

I’m in Savannah. I’m going to put the hub and drum back on and see if it wobbles still. Sounds like that will tell me about he bearing. Thanks so much to everyone for the help! Truly appreciate this site. Gareth

I think there is a club in the Savannah area. I also don’t have a press big enough to swage the studs.

Thanks, I will inspect it closer tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

Ok, that’s good to know! Then I just need to fix the studs.
