While removing the oversized tire of of the jeep I broke off two of the lug bolts holding the wheel. I am going to convert my drum brakes to disc brakes anyway using this method AMC 20 disk brakes
Therefore I know I need to save some of the old backing plate, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to get these lugs off and the wheel, which is still attached to the axle off.
Can I just hit them with a punch through the wheel lug hole and pop them out the back side?
I have heard heat will work but I don't have a blow torch, does anyone have an option for applying heat which is cheaper than buying a whole set up.
