Absolutely! All you have to do is take off the brake drum and strip out the brake shoes and attaching hardware, The hub sticks out enough from the backing plate so that getting the old lugs out and new ones in is quite possible.

Long story made short, I had new tires put my Spitfire today, after about 15 years. The tire place snapped off one of the right rear studs by over-torquing it. They've agreed to pay me for the stud and lug nut, and have said they'd also replace it for me, although it's not bloody likely I'll let them touch it again. It's been a while since I've been into the half shaft, but I'm thinking there's not enough room between the back plate and the hub to get a new stud in, and that the Churchill tool, or a reasonable facsimile, will be required. Am I right? Can this be done in situ? Any advice is appreciated.
