G'day All,
I would start by removing the axle cap, remove split pin from castellated nut, undo the 6 bolts that hold the drive flange (depending on whether it is on the front axle, if it's on the rear, leave axle cap insitu just undo 6 bolts and remove axle etc complete)
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,,.
