I need assistance from someone with mad skills in bolt extraction.
One of the rear hubs that I got in the disk conv kit had 2 of the axle flange studs left in it. I figured no big deal that they must have been needed for the machining and welding jigs when the rotor flange was installed. Turns out they just didn't wanna come outta the holes. Vise grip was no-go.
One came out with a nut welded to it.
The other just kept twisting off little by little with each wasted welded on nut.:mad: I'm stuck.:angry:
I think it's to the point where the hole needs a complete drilling and some Helicoil. I'd be willing to entertain an attempt at some reverse drilling and bolt extractors but wouldn't hold my breath. Well, I have none of this stuff and wouldn't trust myself to not destroy the hole altogether if I just bought the kits and went for it.
Help please. I can bring it to you.
