Nah the bolt wheel bolt has snapped off into the hub... ie there are only 3 bolts holding my wheel on!

which is why i wanna take my old hub off and replace it with another one iv got...

Anyone?

i've never changed it on my clio, but i imagine you'll just unbolt where the ball joint meets the hub and pull the arm down to free it. you won't need to worry about the ball joint. on a different note, you could try chiseling a line into the snapped bolt and it becomes a huge screw.. i've seen the lads at my garage remove them that way before!
