Where to find a new hub for my M100

[93yotasr5]

Long story short the PO had the lugs torqued so hard that they are not able to come off with any tool. I'm going to try the cutting torch method first. But if its not successful, where can I find a new or used hub/drum for my 52' trailer?

Take it to a truck repair shop.
Have them impact the studs off, "even break them" and install new studs.

we tried the impact gun. it simply rounded every nut off.

There is a shop that runs out of the Atlanta area that carries all the parts for your rig, from hubs to springs, shackles etc. name of the place is Vintage Jeeps 1888 503 5337.

Sweet! Thank you sir!

It is probably cheaper to get a new axle assembly with electric brakes and matching hubs to your
FZJ80. Just a thought. ETrailers.com

I'll check that out as well
Thank you!

Curious is it possible to pull the dust cap and remove the wheel bearings. Then pull the hub off, grind the head off the studs with the rounded lug nuts. Then use a punch to drive them out. Would think finding stud that would work is easier then finding a new hub. Since I tow my trailers with the 100 series five bolt pattern wheels and the earlier six bolt pattern I just keep a spare mounted to the bottom of the trailer.

That's what I did last night. I tried hitting it after I got it red hot, but no success. I'm not worried about messing up the wheel since I'll be ordering new ones. I just need a bringer small enough to get in there without damaging the hub.

after a few hours with the grinding wheel and a cutting wheel i was able to get the hub off as one piece. ill be ordering some new wheels to go on the trailer soon. i was able to throw the spare on and start sanding this bad boy down and prep for paint.
