Got it put back together and drove around the block. Seems good other than one stud I can not get out. No torch at home so will be addressed next spa day with Trollhole.

Oh the 8mm cap screw trick made all the difference in the world.
 
Speaking of which - on my truck it seems the PO sheared off or lost at least one of these bolts.

Any idea on where to get/find replacements?

Part Number, pretty please?

Many Thanks for your input.

I'm using these from McMaster without issue for a year. No rust or corrosion so far. I was tired of fearing I may snap them since their torque is super low on em.

That looks like a really close match. I wanted stainless so went with socket head cap screws which are by definition 12.9 I believe.

Obviously it's better to replace the studs (as you have done), but I was able to make a serviceable repair to a mashed hub stud using a metric thread file and then re-cutting the first couple of threads with a thread die. Total hack, but it did the trick.

Well, stainless hardware is weaker then even Grade 5 and 12.9 is stronger then 10.9 (Metric equivalent to Grade 8). Anyways, stainless is more then adequate for this application.

Yeah I stand corrected here. 316 stainless are 70,000 psi tensile. High quality alloy socket head cap screws are 170,000 psi.

But like Matt said strong enough for what they are doing.
