Cross threaded front hub

[RaymyM]

Just had the front wheel off and found one of the bolt holes has been cross threaded. Can it be rethreaded or would the hub need replaced?

Ta.

Need to get a tap for your thread type, that'll fix it otherwise its a helicoil or new hub.

As its a B9 maybe talk with dealer, although they may question why it was removed & maybe done when wheel was being worked on so to speak.

How much would a tap be? Just thinking if it's worth while attempting it myself or accepting the cost for a new hub? I'd say someone has already attempted fixing it.

Need to check thread size, go from there, if bolt doesn't push through at all, then its probably possible to recut the thread.

How would I go about getting the size of the thread? Forgive my ignorance, just something I've not done on a car before.

I think it is M14x1.5mm.
You need to check as I am not 100%

Literally just found it there as you sent that, cheers.

Details were on the data for a replacement bolt. Now to find the correct tap...

This would do fine.

Go for the 2nd tap in Carbon steel at £8. If you are feeling flush go for the hss at £24.

Thanks for that. Went for the £8 one, seeing it's January ;-)
