Sheared pins from hub.
Early Contemporary w/ 427 and Jag rear end.
Pulled the wheels off to do some work. One spinner was really stuck on, a lot harder than I installed it. Though I might have forgot the antisieze... well that wasn't it. Turns out, had sheared off all 6 pins on the driver's rear and the mag wheel had tightened itself into the hub...
What's the resolution/options - can the pins just be replaced? New 6 pin replacement hub? More traditional "modern" replacement hub?
Edit: I understand the pins are threaded in and generally replaceable - I guess what I"m asking is that the best solution? Will they break again? Is there a better option?
The curious thing, is last time I had the wheel off, they seemed good on visual inspection. And I know the car has been driven moderately in that time, no hard launches/aggressive shifting that should have been putting excess loading on the rear end. No stoplight dragstrip heroics. Are the pins that weak or was something else amiss?
