Questions - Cv joint & wheel hub thing (pics)

[The Boosh!]

CV joint was leaking so i did this:

Before:

AFter:

Im confident this willstop the horrid crap leaking out but i just want to know if this will pass an mot like this? or do i have to buy the proper clip/thing that holds it on?

ALSO:

Norm ACCIDENTLY got his muscles out yesterday and snapped a wheel bolt into my hub. after discussion with his friend he said all i need to do is drill a hole in the middle of the nut thats stuck, wedge a screwdriver inside it and it will sccrew out as there is no pressure or something.

do you think this will work? if not what would you lot advise?

sorry for the longish read

will pass no problem, i recommend a smaller one or clipping off the excess though. as for the bolt, safest way of not wrecking the thread in the hub is weld a bolt to the end then undo with a socket.

its clipped shorter now

Yeah I did that to one of my Megane's wheel nuts! Fortunately I broke one that went into the spacer, so just had to take the spacer off and the bolt was easy-ish to remove.

Will a flat head and a hammer not get it out? As they don't tend to be THAT bad...

Just noticed - take the caliper off, take the disc off, and you've got about 8mm to get pliers on! Do it that way, easy picking!

If youve got a dremel kit or a cutting disk, I would cut a slot into the head, then unscrew.

Thats what I'd do.
