Broken Rear Wheel stud
Bought new tires for my 1970 Corvette. Installer broke wheel stud when torquing wheels. The stud is located at left rear. Have a stud and drill out rivets and removed rotor. Now what do I do?

Had the same situation years ago.

The pic is gone but the grinding I did was just a little on the end of the stud head, just enough to put a flat surface against the backing plate.
