Lug Bolt Replacement??
My question is regarding the replacement of the lug bolts. I broke a bolt off while replacing a tire. I took out the old bolt and now am unable to insert the new one from the back. It seems that the backing plate will not allow for a bolt to be inserted from the back.
Does anyone know if i have to remove the axle or just rotate the hub to a special area/spot in order to insert the new one?
Thanks in Advance

You can replace the lug without removing the axle. You need to grind 2 rivets from the rotor shield and turn to to a spot to the rear side of the axle. You also need to remove the 4 bolts on the square mounts to be able to turn the casting also. It is tedious but will allow you to change the lug without removal of the axle.
