no, its a normal wheel bolt, i tightened it, but not super tight, as i was planning on adjusting my coilies after they were all fitted. went to undo the bolts, and now two are just spinning.

not massively kean on chopping up my wheels!  :shocked:

i theory if a normal bolt is spinning it meend the threads have gone in the hub or on the nut you may be able to undo the 2 goodd bolts then put outward pressure on the wheel and try undoing the other 2 nuts while excerting leverage on the wheel or drill them out or do the same as the thread that x4mgs posted which i think is brill if you do it that way post pics please

if i took off the hub nut, and wheel bearing, would the wheel not just come off of the stub axel attched to the brake drum?  does that make sense? because surely the wheel bolts aren't long enough to go through the brake drum and into brake back plate?

does it have rear discs if not you will be able to take the hub off as you say might take a bit of force though make sure the care is supported well on axle stands and if the bearing is tight make a makeshift slide hammer with some rope tied round the wheel and the other end tied to a 4 by 2 and give it a good yank obviously you do this at your own risk and i have nothing to do with any injuries caused to yourself

undo all bolts you can.
