THE FIX

The finish of the story.
Turns out that 66/67 mopars with 10.20" drum brakes have a 1/2 x 20 thread with a knurl of .637.
Nobody makes a 1/2 x 20 with that knurl other than a replacement.
Had to jump to a .680 knurl from ARP (100-7705). Also you will need to buy a 43/64 drill bit. Yes they make one for this job, it measures .671.
No need to fuss. The .680 ARP Studs go in without much effort. ( Drill clean and straight! If you wobble the knurl will be loose.)
Here are the final photos:

Hope you all find this usefull.
Sorry, don't like spacers. They increase the load on the wheel bearings. Would have replaced the wheels with the correct backspace instead of doing this.
Sorry your disappointed with my project. I think you missed the true reason I posted.
I hear people trying to replace left handed thread studs. I hear I broke a stud. I BEAT them out and the hub and drum are junk.
My choice of studs wasn't up for your approval or why. Your not on the title.
The object was the tool and why you need the tool to save your bacon!
This will be my last post or offering! Hope I get deleted!
F.O
As a last last comment. Budget would not allow the proper wheels at this time! It did allow for safety using what we have to work with!
Thanks for showing that. I've never had to remove a stud from a hub so it was neat to see it done.
