I'm sure those studs can be replaced but there might be a lot of disassembly required.
Give a good repair shop a call and bang their ear a little. Maybe you can do the bull work and let them replace the studs in the hubs. Maybe these guys? http://segwayofannapolis.com/ |
That is what’s so dang bizarre. I had no trouble getting the nuts on or off. Smooth as silk. And in fact, when I took the left wheel off (the one that remained attached) - the nuts came off easy as pie, exactly as I would’ve expected in a normal situation. Very bizarre. I might have to call Tony Stark and apply for a job with the X-Men or something - maybe I have superhuman strength and just don’t know it.
I found a used pair of gearboxes on eBay for a reasonable(ish) price so I’m going to change them out. We’ll see what kind of condition the couplers are in but I’m thinking a full gearbox replacement is the only safe way to do this .... unreal.
