sorted ! I took the wheel to a local garage "with a competent welder"
He welded nuts on the remaining studds ,but the heat from the weld was still not enough to looses the studds , After 3 attempts and the hub being heated with a gas axe the 2 studs finally came out. huge sigh of releif on my part, there would not have been a hope in hell with a home blowlamp
the nice man charged me a tenner, so with £25 for the disc and £10 for the gas not to bad ,but got to find 2 retaining bolts yet.
I,ll put the bolts back with some gold high temp lube,
and hopefully never touch it again, I suppose the bearing could be cooked though!
moral of the story, Allow plenty of time for developments if working on the disc rotors
