Any steel bolt, no matter what the grade, can cause a big headache when it is threaded into aluminum.  Once galvanic corrosion sets in, the two dissimilar metals can just about weld themselves together. 
My method of breaking them free is a shot of PB Blaster and a couple good whacks with a hammer or impact driver.  If that doesn't work, I'll resort to using heat, but you need to be carefull not to heat the aluminum past 400F or you will anneal the aluminum.
Some people are like slinky's.  They serve absolutely no purpose, but they always bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

and

But this one is pretty flawed, it wont fit inside the hub. Though its not a big deal because more than 1/2 of it will catch so i dont care.

Did you weld that stuff yourself?  What kind of welder?  Sorry if it's been covered in a different thread.

Looks fine to me.   And, there's no such thing as "just" stick welding.  Stick welding is probably the best and strongest type of welding.  MIG is for girlymen welders.

Isn't stick welding way harder to learn too?

Scott, I'm far from a proficient welder myself and what follows is just my opinion and certainly not gospel.  I think that to become a good welder in any type of welding is not so easy.  The problem with MIG is that a beginner can lay down what looks like a nice bead, and we think it's easy to learn.  But the proof is in testing and too often MIG welds that look pretty don't have enough penetration and are weak.  Not to say that there's anything wrong with MIG welds done by a skilled welder.  

I think it's easier for a beginner to get a strong weld with stick.  An example is He Man's bead breaker.  There may be prettier things  to look at but it's strong and functional which is what counts.  If he'd MIG welded it, assuming he's a beginning MIG welder, it would probably look better, but likely not be as strong.

I have friends who are professional high pressure cross-country pipeline welders (stick) and they can weld upside down on the bottom of a pipe better than I can weld a flat plate laying flat on a bench.  They also do not use MIG welding on the high pressure pipelines, I think it's a matter of code and approved procedures.   The first pass is sometimes done with TIG, I think to eliminate any possible slag inside the pipe and the rest of the passes are done with stick.  But they use MIG in their shops for fabricating things because it's fast and convenient.

Edit:  But yeah, you're probably right that stick is harder to learn.

choke on my flux!  my MIG beads will always look better than your stick.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

how i began stick welding

Clean parts
Crank amperage up.
ground
Dot the i's
STAB AND DRAG

joking...well only half way. My brother is a professional welder, but other than that, i dont claim to know what im doing that much, just that what i build works great. I had to rebuild it 3 times cause the welds kept snapping when i was applying the force to break the bead. hence the massive welds and massive pieces.

Read my above comments on the difference between looking better and actually being better  [cheeky]

And I stole the girlyman reference from Ahhnold.  Didn't really mean it!
