Was getting my bushes replaced last week when the mechanic noticed one of the wheel bolt covers had been super glued on to hide something.
From what i can see someone has tried to take off the locking wheel nut and failed miserably :grin:
They have snaped the top of the bolt off leaving the threaded section stuck in the hub! :angry: Is there an easy way of getting the section out of the hub or am i going to need a replacement?
Cheers

Only way i can see is welding a bolt on and seeing if you canget it to hold while you unscrew it. if that fails the only other way i can see is drilling it out

Chisel it out or try a left hand thread still but ! :laugh:

What you need is a set of "easy outs" or stud removel set only a few quid just get a decent make though,centre punch the stud,small drill to start then drill a bit bigger until it will take the easy out,as it works in the stud it will remove it,give it a good belt first though to help loosen it. Good luck Chambo

also could use a great big f**k off hex key (the ones that can go on breaker bars)
