you know, i reread my post and thought "oh, this is safe to send, no double
entendres for the gang to throw back at me"...i'm still laughing.

but not for long.  i think i am going to try the dremel/chisel method that
george pointed out on this one (i have a spare axle nut) after i spend
about an hour on the bulley "liquid wrench and tap" method.

then, on friday, i will have peter@volkscafe take off the other hub with an
impact wrench, and put the studs in right there at his shop.  he has other
work he needs to do on the van anyway.

thanks for taking it easy on me (all of you!) *g*.
