Got it.
I don't know the stats on Dilivar studs as to where they break. I know that a weak point is in the center shaft due to corrosion pitting. They shear axially from heat cycling at the weak spot. A pit and then the pit turns into a tear across the diameter. Often plenty of meat to get your twist on.
Flush or sub level? Just hang me. A whole different ball game.
