My hub needs replaced as one of the bolts accidently sheared last week as i was tightening it.
I've got the new hub in the garage just wondering how hard it is to do this yourself? Should i get a mechanic up to fix it, I dont want to risk running on 3 bolts.
Thanks.
Also the bolt cannot be taken out, tried giving it heat and dont want to bore it out as it will most likely ruin the thread.

You already most likely ruined the thread in the hub when the bolt snapped
