2 of my bolts in the front n/s wheel snapped yesterday
Got the wheel off, caliper off, disc off and tried to grip the bolts out of the hub but they were cross-threaded.
Any ideas how I can get them out? So far I'm looking for a hub
Most of the time, the actual thread on the hub is alot stronger than that on the bolts, so with new wheel bolts you should be ok. Good way to test is to get a GOOD wheel bolt and use your fingers to see if they do in the suspected holes ok....chances are you will be ok, if not then rethread or new hub,.
That's exactly what my mate done for me yesterday - drilled the bits out that were stuck and rethreaded the hub. Put all back together and drove it - car is running happy again
