    Hello All
    Now we are into the warmer weather up here behind the banana curtain, I am having a bit of an overheating issue with Ernie.
    I have tracked down a 4 core fully welded aluminium radiator in Vic for $346.00 on fleabay.

    4-ROW 62MM CORE RADIATOR FOR LAND ROVER SERIES 2 & 2A 2.25 LITRE 4CYL PETROL MT | eBay

    Does anyone have any experience with these please?

    Also one of my rear wheel studs started spinning the other day when I was trying to take a wheel off.
    Grinder time and cut it off? I cant see any other way. I think I have the master cylinder wound up too
    tight and its not backing the shoes off the drums, resulting on binding issues after a few km's

    Thx Ian

    Dinty offered me some advice when I had the same issue with spinning studs.

    now back on track, once you have removed the the drive flange, (jack the vehicle up so the wheel spins freely, make it (the Land Rover) safe by chocking the wheels and use a body stand,) loosen the other wheel nuts.
    Bend the tab back on the large hex/nut (stub axle) remove the hex nut and locking tab, undo the other hex/nut, remove it, and if your brakes are not dragging on the brake drums, if so back off the cam adjusters, and by wriggling the road wheel it should come free from the stub axle, bringing brake drum and hub all in one go. Don't allow wheel bearings to drop on the concrete, place a potato sack or something to help catch them or have some else help you, no point in making extra work by having to clean n repack the bearings LOL.
    I would then try to get the offending wheel stud back into place, and put a heavy tack weld on it, also soak the wheel nut in penetrating oil, use heat from Oxy/acetylene to break the rust grip, hope thats reasonably clear enough for you to understand, cheers mate Dennis
    ps If this is successfull in removing the wheel nut/s, you will need the then get the brake drum off the hub, the screws (Csk 3/8"Whitworth thread) are a P.I.A, you might have to center dot them and drill them out, to separate the hub from the drum,,.
    Cheers,
    Martin
