ok, i have good tools, but not many. i use mainly cornwell tools. i am only 16, and have a job as mechanic at a local body shop and have paid for every penny of my tools. but i dont have a torch. and no big chevy 3600, your right, i dont have a welder either. the reason i rounded them off is that they were all deteriorated before anyway. no socket would fit them. i grinded down the studs and nuts flush with the wheel and beat the crap out of it and it is still stuck. i will probly have to drill out the studs, but i havent got around to it. i am a very busy person. i am in a ton of extra-curricular activities.
