One of the four wheel studs has been stripped for a while, but now I am getting ready for a back-road trip to Vegas in the 62 BRG beast and I want to have the wheels on tight for the desert cruise. A new rear hub from Moss is $324 and it seems excessive for a one stud problem. Should I run a long stud through the stripped hole and weld it on the back or try to weld a nut back there? I am not much of a welder but I can do light brazing. If I heat up the hub on the car will it ruin the grease or damage the bearing in the hub? Should I drill and tap the hub and try to get someone to make a custom stud? I know these are fairly basic machinist questions but I do appreciate any help.
