So this happened today

post-63710-1257402001_thumb.jpg

Just wondering what are my options here, first one that came to mind is buying new hubs of just jap for $140, not 100% on which size id get tho or if this is the right thing to do :D

Anyone got any other suggestions? Havnt tryed to put another Lug on but if i did there would only be held in by 3 or so threads which i dont think would be that great.

So just wondering whats my best option here.

Thanks in advance :laugh:

its pretty easy to fix man,

take your caliper and rotor off, once there off you will have to take off your hand brake shoes, i would suggest taking pics of the mechanisms as it can be a bit tricky to put back together if you havnt done it before.

once everything is off with a hammer knock the stud out. once out put the new stud in and do it up on the hub before assembling every thing, now you wont be able to do it up heaps before the wheels start spinning but enough to get a bite.

start putting every thing back together, once the rotors back on applie the hand brake, put the nut back on the stud and do it up fully.

hope that heaps i had to replace a couple of studs on the weekend and this method worked for me

Thanks for the offer doo doo, did it today myself cost me $6.70 for the strut pretty easy install. Just need to get a Lugnut now looked at some in Supercheap auto but dont really want to pay $15 for 4 when i need 1. Going to buy a whole new set next week, think i will get some blue ones

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
