So here’s the scenario… You go to rotate the tires on your car, or truck, or your wife’s car or truck, and you find that one lug nut won’t come off. Like any good mechanic, you get your most bad ass impact gun out and let’er eat. In doing so the thing starts spinning and you think you’ve won. You think this until you realize that all you have done is strip the stud out in the hub behind the wheel. Ooops. So what do you do? Custom Furniture Hardware
In some cases, you can get to the stud on the back of the hub. In those cases you can sometimes get to the back of the stud to either put a wrench on it if it has a hex, or to weld a nut to it in order to keep the stud from spinning. But what if you can’t get to the back of the stud? What choices do you have to fix it?
In this video, you’ll see one man’s struggle to get this thing apart. Watch, and feel free to judge him, but know that this could be you.
helped a friend w/slashed tires and spinning studs in the 70’s we had new studs and nuts and two mounted tires . pulled the dust caps and outer wheel bearings , pulled the wheels and brake drums in one piece and torched off the nuts at a nearby garage . knocked out all the studs , drove in new ones and mounted the tires . Dumb luck the garage was not busy and the guy had a cutting torch
