My son-in-law has a boat. Used mostly in salt water. He tried to remove a flat tire. I told him if the wheel bolts don't loosen up there is a chance they will break off. I showed him how to remove the rear hub. I heated the hub flange, and the lug bolts came out. Today he tried to loosen the other side lug bolts, broke two, and another must have come out some, the head is bent over. I wish he would had just waited. at least he is trying I guess. I am going to try and heating the hub, and weld a nut on what is left of the bolt. Never worked on anything that has been in salt water. Stan
