Front Wheel hub -know where I can get one?

Remove the center nut for the wheel bearings, then the whole hub will just come off with the tire and you can access it from the back better...
I've got the tire/drum off. I thought about welding them and calling it good, but I read some forum somewhere else where some guy asked about that, and everyone replied it was a bad idea cause the studs will get brittle due to the heat and they will break off. That seemed a little far fetched to me but I'm no metallurgist. Have you done similar with success? I assume since you're still alive no issues?
