Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Just drill it out mate , start with a small drill bit and get bigger and bigger until the bolt is just a thin walled shell. Then try some easy outs or a flat head screw driver to break it up being careful you don't damage any threads. Oh and don't sheer an easy out there a nightmare to remove Edited August 2, 2014 by Dean_mc88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M.B-glanza Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 This is a tapered nut not a bolt I've tried to drill the sides to split it but its just no good... im worried that if i damage the hub studs then its a new axle job as apparently you cant buy new hubs for these there fixed hubs? Or so im lead to belive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Ah feck yea sorry wasn't thinking. is it just that one? pointed air chisel would be ideal, or soak for ours in wd40 and hand chisel. I think it may damage the thread though if its that badly locked on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean_mc88 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Or you could carry on doing what your doing however drill a fair few holes all the way around making it week. As for the fixed hubs im not sure at all to be honest sorry cant be more help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The studs are part of the disc. (I replied the in other thread about that by the way)Are they steel nuts? You could weld a bolt to it or as above, Drill the stud out the center so theres nothing left for the nut to hold on so it falls out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The rears are part of the disc, they might be removable from them anyway, and the fronts can be knocked out the hub indiviually too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
