Herb, thank you for the advice. I'm talking to the mechanic over the phone in another city, he says he's used a torch before. Who knows? We're finding a rim and brake drum in advance in case there's a problem. Do you know what side those left hand threads were on the car? I have a funny feeling the shop tried to take them off with an impact wrench, and that's when the studs started spinning.
