Normally hub studs can be bought, and old ones knocked out (grind it flat, but slightly proud of the hub, and pin punch the centre )and you insert the new ones in the hub, slight tap from the rear, and pull it through with the wheel nut.

This is a hub but similar to this k:
Pin air chisel can make the process easier..

So...it looks like in 17miles...ALOT of things have happened...it's been in a brand new built garage...in the warmest summer we've had in years...the test today was done by a garage We as a family have used for years, and I do trust.

The 1st was done by a Halfords autocentre...on a Friday...at 4:15pm...do you...you know...in the back of mind...think that the 1st test was rushed, 'oh well it's failed anyway' sort of attitude...

I know things can happen...but in 17miles??

Any thoughts??

This project is still ongoing, not been forgotten, but just put back a while, hoping to get cracking again soon
