Greetings! I've searched and searched and read a whole slew of posts about the "threaded" wheel studs on the TR4. I'm restoring a 1962 TR4 that has obviously seen some pretty bad days, but is finally beginning to rise from the rust. One thing I have to do is replace all the wheel studs as almost all of them have been damaged beyond any hope of a rebirth. The front studs were no problem and came out after one or two "taps" from my trusty hammer. The rear, threaded studs were more difficult as I had to remove the peening before I could get them unscrewed with my vice-grips. Problem is I'm only 7/8ths of the way there. One stud (it had been broken in half and wouldn't hold the lug nut) just spins freely and won't screw out. Do I try cutting/grinding it under the stud shoulder and try to hammer it out? Can't drill it out as the stud just spins. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
By way of explanation, 50 years ago I sold my original 64 TR4 to pay for our wedding and honeymoon. My wife surprised me with this 62 TR4 on our 50th anniversary to replace the one I sold. She bought it online, sight unseen and had no idea what would be involved to bring it back to life after many years in a Texas barn.
