Subject:spinning rear lug nut
From:Joe Novak
Date:Sun, 23 Aug 2015 21:02:14 -0700

evening all,

i replaced my rear brake drums this weekend on our 86 westfalia.
first one went great - pretty easy job.

second one came off and new one went on, no problem...
but when i went to retighten the lugs,
one decided that it wanted to spin in place.
i think the stud has striped itself free of its splined home on the hub.

does anyone have experience with this? if so, how much work am i in for
in getting this nut free so i can replace the entire hub assembly?

cheers,
jvk
