Question for tuff wheel

[Snowbug778]

The can that my wheel goes on two of the three screws broke off! And idea on how to raplace them or should i weld it on and rethread it?

They may be a little tricky to replace and not damaging that paint is sure to prove next to impossible.
May be easier to buy a new one. I am sure I have seen them at Mega Parts.

Welding and rethreading is sure worth a try.

Not sure how they are even held on from the factory, but it sure looks tedious and maybe by a special welder/machine and possibly done before final assembly.

Please keep us posted.

We drilled the holes out and just threaded a bolt through and stuck a nut on the other end and shes in and good now!

I don’t know how the originals are held in place. But if you can drill it out you might be able to get a PEM stud and pull it through into place.

You could give Riv Nuts a go.
