How much were the hubs at the trailer supply ?
I don't recall the exact price, but they weren't much at all. For some reason I'm thinking $20 or $30, but I could be wrong.
? I can't remember which type West Marine carries, but they come in a nice kit and boxed in a thick plastic carry case.
I think it's a safe bet that WM's were more expensive. TSC's had no fancy case.
I may have to try heating the studs to remove them...if they were nuts, it would be a snap to crack them.
My lug bolts were exceedingly tough too....I broke a wrench on mine. After finally getting them off (the chemicals do help) I cleaned them up by soaking them and wire-brushing them and running them in and out a bunch of times (with the help of a carefully applied pneumatic wrench). Then when I re-installed them I used never seize. Must remember to check the torque a few times to make sure they aren't backing out.... I'll save your message about the galley shelf....probably will be a little while before I get to it. Tod
