[Vwdiesel] wheel noise

[raymond greeley]

whille on the topic of rear wheel noise i will share a recent excperience, 
looking for thoughts
I had a rear brake cyl fail and after a 4 boken sockets and a trip back to 
pep boys to have them
loosen the lug nuts (requires 85lbs, thier torque wrech stopped at 150 
without budgeing)
their tire installer put on.
So, i limp home using the parking brake, downshifing and the little remaing 
brake pedal to stop
my 91 jetta. When i get the drum off i notice that one of the bolts that 
holds the bearing
hub to the axle has snapped off (lower-forward bolt). Theer are only four 
bolts holding this
hub to the axle to start with and i am down to three.
So, has anyone had luck with drilling and removing old bolts like this and 
can i drive until i
put another vehicle in its place. I am thinking i woudl remove all the brake 
parts including
the new brake cyl and then apply heat to the remaining bolts to better 
insure they come
out without braking, then replace all with new like strength bolts.
I am assusming the other lower bolts are in the same condition (more apt to 
rust)
Looking for thoughts in rust friendly chicago.
