Fill the rest of the hex nut with metal untill you have put another head on the broken stud. Let cool and unscrew the broken stud with a wrench. thats an awesome idea... but where am i gonna get a TIG welder? also... when pulling the hub off the axle... what the hell kinda puller do you have to use? ive got a 3 prong 4" puller, and it doesnt seem to fit well enough on the 5 lug hub... i managed though to pull the hub off maybe 1/4 inch... after that, the puller hits one of the lugs |
My point was that you CAN use a MIG welder and that they are pretty east to find. Unlike using an easy out - if you screw it up, you can just try again until you get it.
