Burn it out or loosen all the rest and drive around fast in tight circles, in a figure 8 pattern, forward and reverse, until it comes loose.

Do this in a wide open parking lot.

Be sure to have a buddy film you for later laughs.

Just click on your thread no matter where it's at. Type something in the message box and hit "post quick reply". That "bumps" your thread up the list.

Take a drill bit that is approximately the size of the stud and drill it out. You might want to use a smaller drill bit and drill a pilot hole first.

You're going to be surprised how hard that stud is when you try to drill it out.

Well I would hope they're strong. Why can't I just bang the stud in? Will it damage the drum mechanisms ?
