After removing my wheels several times because of various work. a couple of them no longer get tight. It apears they are not only stripping the bolt...but also inside the rotor (or wherever it is) too. Maybe I am taking the tire off wrong?? These bolts are a pain...
What do I need to do? Please don't tell me buy new rotors! Is it safe to heli coil these? Can I just buy some longer lug bolts? |

QUOTE(mikez @ Oct 10 2004, 12:42 PM) Hubs...replace....rotors....helicoils oor replace....both are cheap, the rears will need a new bearing and are labor intensive...... Am I understanding right that if I replace a rear hub I have to replace the bearing as well? I don't have a lot of time. I am going to school fulltime, working part time and trying to fix my 914 the rest of the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I am leaning toward the heli coils. I know some don't like that idea...but I only need one lug done on two different wheels. How hard and expensive is it to put in studs?? |
