I replaced the two front bolts last year, tapped out easily. I tapped out th=
e left rear bolt this morning, cleaned it up, anti-seized it and put it back=
 in. The right rear is stuck hard. I think I=E2=80=99ll leave it for now.=20=

I see you have the hub bore diameter. Mirek is quick!
Thanks,
Dan
