Two of the studs are rotating on the flange where a slight indent has been worn on the actual flange. Someone mentioned welding the bolts onto the flange, is this wise ? At least they wont move, ever again.

If your going to weld on that flange make sure you do it OFF the motor. The heat transfer will wreck seals, bearings, god only knows what else.

Its ok welding them in, but dont put too much weld on them, as you may want to change them one day. Especially if you knacket the threads. :D

If it was my money, or wagon, I'd just change the bolts and continue to use a spanner - which is exactly what I did on Saterday!

It saves any potential detriment to the flange (I have seem some disintergrate when welded incorrectly - not just LR ones either) and makes swapping bolts easier should the need arise (like kerplunked theads, as mentioned).

Just a tuppence

Decided to replace the flange instead.

Good choice, isn't the flange cast?
