Here's what I'm dealing with . The drum you see in the picture is about 3 inches across. The screw is about 1/8 inch in diameter -- pretty small and set at an angle and difficult to get to -- we had very little drill bit actually in the chuck to get as much length as we could... We drilled closed to center but not exactly center and we're about in the threads on one side, so we may end up doing Jerry's recommendation anyway...
But as you can see, there's nothing extending above the edge to grab or weld to. Tig welder ... That's funny, Grigg ...
If I use a very fine flame, can I apply heat directly into the hole we've drilled to heat up the walls of the screw? Or do I need to worry about annealing the hub of the brake drum?
