So the superior shafts for my D44 have about 1000km on them, had put them in this spring. Went to check the rear brakes and when I went to torque the nuts on one kept spinning, luckly the impact took it back off.
Any reasons not to tack them in from behind, or possible front (carefully of course) but allowing drums to sit flush?

I'd try replacing the stud. If that doesn't solve the problem, contact superior and explain that your problem, it could be a manufacturing defect.

Aftermarket axles use thread in studs ::)

If you did really small tacks it probably wouldn't be an issue, but the heat affected zone could lead to the stud breaking off.

They are the Superior Evolution series, the studs press in. I was thinking a small tack on the back of the stud.
*edit* Just talked to Chad with Superior, he said tacking the studs from behind isn't a problem.

Could also try JB weld

So I nabbed the little welder from work, and proceeded to tack them all on which I think is far better than having one strip and not being able to get it out. It was a little tricky because I'm lazy and left the axles on the jeep, pulled the brakes shoes which I ended up changing anyways. All in all that portion of the job went well.
The stud in question snugged up fine once torqued, then on to the other side............ Now last night I remember my son, whom is 3 and a half helped me put the lug nuts on the side step. After a while he had them all on one side. I remember putting half back but now they are gone, maybe he put them on the running board of our cherokee which has since moved, I looked most places a 3 year old could reach in the garage but with no sucess :-\. Thankfully it's a toy and I don't need it to get to work, off to part source tomorrow to find some new ones ::)
It was a good bonding experience though :D
