Hi Everyone,

I have a spare rear hub (nyloc nut, not the castellated nut version) on
which one of the stud mounting holes is "worn". In the sense that the stud
which was in there spins instead of gripping the splines. I don't have a new
stud to compare with the worn out one so I don't know how much more metal
there would be on a new stud to try gripping the corresponding hole in the
hub flange.

I see some wear in the hub flange splines but I'm not sure how much is
acceptable. Is this typically a repairable situation? Or is the hub flange
shot? I assume that welding a stud to the flange or other such measures
would be considered gross hacks...
