By the way Gumpy I still have some left over (Allen head screws), and we have a grill (several actually) and a Tyson plant just up the road! (come on down to the rally and I'll fix ya right up with the Allen head screws and plenty of chicken to cook and plenty of space to cook it! Shoot how much more could ya ask fer?!)

That's a darn decent offer, but I'm pretty sure I have a conflict with the weekend of your rally

Maybe you could get some of those chickens, pack them in dry ice, throw in a bunch of those screws, and overnight them to me

has anyone just drilled the holes out and put longer screws/blts in with lock nuts on the back of the hub?

Can you reach the inside to hold the nut when the wheel end is assembled?

You might also try welding a 1/4" or 5/16" nut onto the screw head. Tack it and then weld inside the nut. The welding will heat up the screw, and then you can put a box end
wrench on it, or socket and breaker bar and try turning it out.
