NEED HELP!!!!!!!!! please?!?!

[Spinksy]

I really need someone with a tap and dye set (for re-threading things), a jack and a tool to take my wheel off....Ideally someone local to or near huddersfield, willing to provide petrol money and pay for help!!!My rear drivers side wheel has started wobbling because 2 of the holes that the bolts go in have no threads left Really need the car for tomorrow afternoon!! (Sisters birthday-in doncaster) Would be a massive help and as said I will provide beer tokens!!!! Pm me if you can help

Spinksy your best bet is to go down the scrappy and get a new outer drum brake hub part, will be much safer too..

only need to undo the big hubnut and pull it off.

 

[Knuckles]

are the hubs not toughened/hardened?

not sure if a tap would be able to cut them

 

[slob]

Buy a new hub. Will cost penny's!

 

[Spinksy]

okay will get a drum casing tomorrow morning but still need someone with a jack, tool to get the wheel off and tools to get the drum off... as said before will pay for the time (an hour tops if we d*ck about for a while lol)

 

[Spinksy]

anybody??? I seriously need this sorted before half 1 tomorrow otherwise I'm going to miss my sister's birthday

would be a massive help! and as said in OP I will provide beer tokens if you just come and lend me the tools (I will do the work)

 

[slob]

Surely you can get a wrench and a socket for the hub nut. Then use the jack that comes with the car. Honestly such an easy job. If you are really not up to it take the hub to tyre fitter kwick rip ect. They might go easy on you, but I reckon they will charge you £25 for a 5 min job.

no, my family etc are in doncaster where I usually get tools from, and my jack broke a while back, I can do the job myself, just need someone nearby to borrow the tools off at least

 

[Knuckles]

if i was closer id have lent you a hand mate


do you not have any mates that are into their cars?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Or a neighbour with some tools surely.

Best post ever

If the internal threads are stripped then re-tapping them will only redefine them. It won't restore the amount of torque that an undamaged thread can hold.


Go for replacement as above.

not racist :O just had no reason to socialise with them...

I will but will still need tools :/ anybody close to huddersfield at all? I am willing to provide petrol money and beer money for use of your tools and half an hour of your time...(for whoever is local)

 

[Spinksy]

Nevermind this thread anymore, got the car at the garage paying garage prices, to replace the entire drum as the local scrappers refused to sell just the drum cover (only sell it as a whole... cnuts)...... But thanks anyways was worth a try

 

[Rob]

You're mental.

Drive to renparts, ask them to do it for you for a quick bit of cash.

 

[slob]

How much did they want for the full assembly?

 

[Spinksy]

Rob- Wasn't an option, the car wasn't driveable down the street, let alone down the motorway (only 2 bolts held the wheel on... Slob- was 25 for the part, then 25 fitting so no too bad, I would have happily paid someone on here that to lend me their tools...

 

[slob]

Not to bad then. At least it's fixed now!

 

[Spinksy]

Yeah mate, exactly that, got to see my sister for her birthday which was the main worry tbh so I'm happy

 

[J.B.]

Happy days!

Got a massive giggle from the asian bit too.

 

[Knuckles]

just had no reason to socialise with them...

Because they're foreign? And you're racist?

:rasp:

 

[Spinksy]

Ahaha yeah guys in a really good now tbf, and yes scott because I'm racist.... :L
