    I've done a couple on a few cars and and pick up trucks. Whish I new the ice trick.
    To the op. When pulling the new bolt thru use a open ended nut. If you don't and its not straight you'll be mad and still have to buy a new new threaded bolt.

    Couple...hmm... finally have a chance to do a test putting my aluminum drives on the trailer and the studs stick out maybe 1 millimeter from the lugs, not fully torqued.

    I'm pretty sure that as long as there's at least 1 thread fully exposed its ok.

    They don't care as long as it isn't dripping.

    And if you look closely, you can sorta see the oil level in the hub just below the half way point. For reference to the speed of the leak, I bought the trailer in Feb and have yet to add any hub oil.
