wont it damage the thread on the hub
you could shatter them out? or maybe weld some plate to them and get them ot that way?
how do you shatter them out as it it stuck in the ex's feild and i need to move it asap as i dont trust her if she does anything to the car
did they all snap totally flush to the face of the hub?
if its the front hub - take it off and to a local engineering shop who should be able to extract them for you....The rears are part of the brake disk.
or soak them in plus gas and use adecent
bolt extractor kit which will unscrew them out .
ive yet to find a decent stud / bolt extractor....all the ones ive tried have made them worse.
if you can drill straight you dont have a problem on my first clio we didnt have the lock nut so my old man drilled them out with a cordless drill by hand, no jigs or owt, straight as an arrow and didnt damage any threads :D
