Hi to all I am asking around a few members and generally for the wheel stud flange (if that is the correct term?) Basically the circular hub which carries the wheel studs. My locking wheel nut is seized and in trying to remove the stud and alloy has been damaged. I need the 5 stud hub and 1 x ap1 alloy if anyone has any ideas?

Many thanks for any help.

 

Your best bet mate is to ask people who are breaking their cars in the for sale section or eBay. Normally you can get 4 wheels for silly cheap, and sometimes single wheels are for sale on there. The only problem you might have with the wheels Is with 1 you might notice a slightly different colour.

 

One way to remove a seized/beaten up locking nut is to weld a piece of metal onto it and lever it off, sacrifices the nut but saves destroying the stud on the hub. Take it to your local back street enthusiast with a crate of beer? From your description the replacement your looking for is the hub flange, replacing just this part is a lot more work than replacing the full swivel hub assembly as you will most certainly require a new wheel bearing due to pulling the old flange out (the flange outer face is a compression fit against the inner race of the wheel bearing). If a garage carries out this work in a rush there is also a chance that they will trash the ABS sensor, these are not cheap, so highlight that if they're sloppy they foot the bill!
