2 spinning rear wheel studs. What's best option?
First time trying to remove the rear wheel on my van (only had 6 months) and it appears 2 of the studs are just spinning.. I suspect this is due to someone fitting longer ones incorrectly in order to accept the nasty alloys and spa*cers it has... Now assuming I can get the split pin out and then crack the hub nut ( I can see the 2 10mm bolts on the brake drum are not present... Is this the best plan of attack..

Yes you can undo the big nut and remove the hub wheel and drum together then access the studs from inside the drum . I have a couple of spare drive flanges if yours are toast

My 46mm socket won't fit through the Alloy wheel..
The opening is around 56mm.the socket is 63mm not sure a thin wall socket would be up to the job providing I can find one to fit
