H3NRY Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Proving that i am a mechanical f***-up i have partially cross threaded and stripped the threads in 2/4 bolt holes on my front o/s hub.I have managed to tap a new thread into one of them, but the tapping tool will not bite into the second.HELP ME PLEASE- i'd like to not have to replace the hub!

Bickerton Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Get a new job mate, retapping a thread of same size is gonna end badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3NRY Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 any ideas on a rough cost? for the hub/fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 re-tap bigger and get bigger bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3NRY Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 possibly, but i'd like to have it so its as it was before....that probably means new parts. reading something atm about removing the rotor/caliper then threading in a wheel bolt from the back, where the threads are good - apparently pushes the knackered threads out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
