Ruined Bolt Result Of Cross Thread

[TwoCents]

So this happened today

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

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

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

Yea will do that as i dont really have alot of money to spend. Do you know what size stud i need and where you get them from?

[ali-turko]

all you need is your vin number and take it nissan, and ask for 1 rear wheel stud there only like $4 each
