Trying to remove the front tire from the GE and 3 wheel studs appear to be spinning inside the rotor.
Aside from breaking out the acetylene torch how have you guys done this?

You've got a point--the hub has to come off to replace the studs. I would use a cut-off wheel and split the lug nuts with it. Then use a small chisel to separate the 2-4 pieces of the nut.tgreese wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 8:28 am Have not ever tried this, but won't the hub come off still bolted to the wheel, if you remove the brake caliper? I would think the back of the wheel studs would then be exposed. Maybe you could grab the backside, or grind down the shoulder of the studs, or even put a nut over the stud and weld inside the nut.
