I know it sounds brutal but I have managed to get them off using a very small
hole saw which just fits over the stud. When this is done carefully U can
usually save the stud and avoid damaging the hub.

Subject: rear hub nuts
I have run into a problem in disassembling the BJ7 and need some advice from
the list. Five of the ten rear hub nuts have been "rounded off" by previous
workers. The correct size socket just slips when you try and turn it. Any
suggestions on removing these nuts or am I going to have to drill out the
studs? TIA. Wendall Cross BJ7.
