48 Cj2a Dana 25? Have the brake plates and shoes finished, this is the rear axle, I think I can just tighten the bolts and the studs will flush out. Do you Concur?

Re: Brakes and hubs
No. A ‘48 CJ2-A would have had a Dana model 41 axle.
You’ve got it all inside out and backwards. The hub goes on the outside of the drum with the large end of the bore to the inside, and the studs go through the drum, then the hub, with the heads inside the drum.

It's in your Jeep Universal manual, page 197. As with any historic vehicle, can't do maintenance at any level without the appropriate TMs.

Hello,
You will also want to get or use a small press to press those studs in flush once you get it set up in the correct fashion.
That way they are secure and all will be well !!
Here is a picture of lugs getting pressed in on my 1943 Ford GPW.
A different model drum and hub, but you need your lugs pressed into position.
Use a wrench socket on the underside of where you are pressing the lug to keep the drum from bending. Also a good idea to screw on a lug nut for the socket to go around, so your threads don't get damaged by the socket while pressing.
It is a super easy thing to do, and will take no time at all.
Good luck !! The upper pic is pressing new studs into position.
The lower pic is me pressing out old studs to replace the drum. It also shows the press that is used.
You can get them from Harbor Freight if needed.
A great tool to have, especially if you are replacing all 4 drums !!
Best Regards,
Ray
