Hub thread damaged with wrong bolts! Need new hubs!
I messed up my wheel hub thread by using wrong bolts.
I need to replace the hubs and this time use the right bolts. Does anyone know where I can find the parts and a DIY to change them? |

I would think that a helicoil could restore the hub to a usable fashion without replacement and may be quite a bit less expensive than replacing it with new ones. Not sure what hubs cost - labor to repair the holes with helicoils, if you can't do that yourself, may make just replacing the whole thing cheaper.

For safety and peace of mind, I would just replace the hubs. Good luck.

To the OP, is this just 1 bolt, or did you do all 5?? Just wondering? Harry |
