Steve---If yu are referring to one or more of         stripped  six
studs that go into the aluminum trailing arm,  it would probably be
easier to remove the axle hub. This is not a difficult job at all, and
you would be in a better position to deal with the stripped stud. Could
be that it's the threads in the 'arm' and not the stud itself?

Dear listers, 
I am in the process of replacing the trailing arm bushes on my TR250..
One of the nyloc nuts spins on the trailing arms' studs, I suspect the
threads have corroded. Since this nut is behind the bearing/hub assembly
( accessible only thru the two socket holes in the rear hub assy) I
assume the only way to get it off is to back out the stud with a screw
extractor. Anyone have a better idea? Liberal amounts of penetrating oil
before using the screw extractor? 
Thanks
