Quote: BarnyardEngineering (quoted from post at 08:39:50 11/07/22) The only way you're ever going to know is to try. We can sit around here and guess at what is going to happen, but until you actually try to remove the rest of the lug bolts...
Can you get at the back side with some sort of powered wire brush? Clean the corrosion out of any exposed threads on the back side of the hub before trying to remove them. Douse them with penetrant, not to get them unstuck, but to help the exposed threads keep moving once they engage the hub.
The broken off bolt can be ground flush with the hub, then most likely turned through and out the back of the hub. I've done that. There was just enough bolt sticking through the backside to get the vise grips on, then I was able to turn them through.
Thanks for the nudge . this isn t old hat for me so I appreciate the patience and discussion.
There s not enough bolt sticking out to grab on the back side of these bolts unfortunately there’s only a couple threads exposed. But based on your advice I assume that’s a good thing for the remaining bolts - not pulling too much crud into the hub when I try back them out? Broken bolt is already pretty much flush with the hub on the rim side - that s where it broke. I’ve been soaking both ends of bolts since I started monkeying with this a couple days ago. Once rain and wind let up I’ll get back at it.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: What's The "Stuckest" You've Ever Been? - by Edited by Kim Pratt. Another great discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I was about 14 (part of the problem) when I got stuck. I was disking with a cab equipped IH 966. The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
