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? |

Doesn't sound like yer doin alot of auto-crossing or other antics, which might be the concern for some folks here (I'm guessing...), but it is obvious that if you don't do the heli-coils your car will be parked for longer than it should be. What works best is what works under the circumstances. Go the cheap route. Get back on the road while you can!
