Stripped wheel stud.
About months ago, I will stop on the side of the road and the emergency road crew had to remove my rear wheel to fix a hole in the tire. After they repair that I did not think anything of it until about 3 or 4 days ago when I had to remove the wheel to replace my brakes. I turned all of these bolts and remove them all except for one. It spins freely not coming out. Apparently the emergency road crew service stripped out the hole where the bolt will not come out now.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get it out? |

I have an air impact that will do torque up to about 300 ft. lb. I guess I'd try backing the wheel bolt out running the air impact at it's highest speed with a buddy pulling on the opposite side of the wheel as a hard as he can. Whatever threads are left on the wheel bolt may catch enough to back the wheel bolt out. Then I'd inspect the threads in the hub and try screwing one of the known good bolts in. You can hope that it was the wheel bolt is what stripped.
I understand why JFP suggested replacing the hub, but as it's only one hole in 5, I'd probably explore having it drilled, tapped, and helicoiled. In this situation, I'd probably have the helicoil put in with maximum strength Red Loctite. It would definitely hold until the next moron ERS crew got a hold of it!
