Well i learned something new then. That would make is hard to get them off. I must've read right by that in the manual. I've done brake jobs before on other makes, and never came across this. What would be the purpose, since brakes are going to have to be replaced at some time. Guess it's angle grinder time. When i get home i'm going to re-read that part of the manual again. {Let me guess, chevy also tack welded the nut that holds the hub on. Wouldn't want that to come off either.} sarcasm font
