Is It Broken, I think Yes

[MarcB]

Im guessing that my rear hub bolt has burst and the reason for this is in the short video below.

I have been spraying these nuts at the back of the hub for the last 3 weeks almost every day with WD40 and then today i went to see if i could lose them off and i before i even tried i noticed it was just spinning.

Might as well have been coating it in mayonnaise.

Penetrating fluid is what you need to .. er .. penetrate into the threads of seized bolts. If that fails; heat is what you need.

Video not working...

Is there not a head on the other side?

 

[Llewellyn]

You need to access the torx head the other side to stop them spinning.... panic over, nothings broken. Lol :tonguewink:

 

[Poopensharten]

Three weeks?!? Flol!

Step away from the tools Marc :wink:

 

[MarcB]

I would also like to point out I'm buying new Torx bolts and nuts for these :up:

Thats too much effort for me, It was hard enough taking the wheels and back bumper off 😊

Three weeks?!? Flol!

Danny i walk about with a tin of WD40 and anything in the way gets it LOL

Step away from the tools Marc :wink:

I am bad, Everything needs hit with a hammer or cut and all my mates who are techs (for BMW, Nissan, Renault, Vw & Audi) won't let me touch my car when they are around as i break things, A lot of things :weary:

Such a drama queen. Bet sportys were being called to come pick it up!

Almost, I gave up and left everything at my arse, I have other issues and the Ange Grinder is coming into play for them :wink:
I had the impact gun on the exhaust back box bolts and one one came out so thats getting just and the small 10mm that hold the heat shield up are getting cut also.

 

[Gus]

PMS sell the 10mm rear spacers for £25 and comes with new nuts n bolts. they also sell the nuts and bolts separately but you have to call them for that.

They are no longer available from Renault.

 

[Mr R.]

I bought these and had them plated as they came in black.

Thats funny as i gave @Renault Wolverhampton all the part numbers and he gave me a full price.

[Mr R.]

Very strange, when i did mine Adam told me that the bolts where NLA.

Anyway that's alot of money for a few bolts.

 

[MarcB]

Just seen the PMS kit so going to buy that as i want spacers to match the fronts and £25 for a full kit seems very good.

Im changing all the Heat shield clips and fasteners and a N/S/R break pipe also hence the price.

 

[aucky]

Marc they are countersunk torx heads on the other side. 3 of one size and 1 smaller one

Same for me. I went with the PMS replacements in the end.

 

[MarcB]

@aucky As i said I'm a loose cannon when it comes to working on the car hence why i would rather [ay someone else, im 100% buying the PMS kit next week.
For £25 with bolts and nuts you can not go wrong

 

[dmallett]

These bolts suck

I got some high tensile ones to replace mine from a local bolt shop, they were about £3. f**k reno prices.
