Hi Drew

Which side was the stud that broke? Wonder if it had been over stressed in the past by someone confused over left right thread. If somebody had gone at the nut with an impact wrench trying to remove it turning the wrong direction pretty easy to have loaded it up past 300ft.lbs.

The studs on my HUP are all welded on the inside of the drum.

Please keep us posted on your efforts to replace the stud and nut.

Cheers Phil
