I repaired some tires on an old 1963 Chevy 1-ton with the old split rims. We took the tires out to the farmer threw them off the back of the service truck, put the tires on the back of the truck then evening came and we had to bring his truck back to the shop. Half way back to the shop I heard an explosion like a cannon going off. Well the rear left inside rim blew apart while driving down the highway. It cut the brake line so I had no brakes what so ever since it was a single circuit brake system. The inside half of the rim wrapped itself around the frame rail. If this happened to the outside dual hard telling where that half of the rim would have ended up. I would never work on an early split rim again and we didn't repair them at the shop any more either just the split ring type rims would we repair. I would take yours and switch them over to tubeless tires with new or used drop center rims. Those rims -widow makers- are nothing to brag about, it's like playing Russian Roulette. Tires aired up over 1-yes one psi are bombs that people don't realize.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
