Just replaced both rear hubs, but one of the wheel studs seems to be loose. I can tighten the nut pretty well, but before the torque wrench clicks, it just keeps turning and turning.

So, assuming I can get the wheel off, what do I do to fix that? Take it somewhere to be welded?

tnx

is it a pressed in stud? check and see if it didnt get knocked back a bit. they do make over sized press in studs. Just make sure the threads are good. you can always draw it up tight and put a bit of weld on it
 
Dont know on a rr but they are easy on a mondeo and would imagine there not much different
Just push in from behind and pull in on a spline by tightening a wheel bolt onto it
 
It is pushed in flat, same as the others. So I guess the spline/thread/whatever must be miss-made. It's tight enough for now.

Will I be able to get someone to spot weld it without taking the hub off? Will the heat be so localised that it won't damage anything?

tnx
