To cut a long story short I`ve had the wrong locking wheel locks fitted to my car and because of this they have stretched/stripped part of the thread on the 'bolts' on the 'hubs' (not sure if these are the correct terms but you know what I mean). I can still torque them OK so not really bothered about the safety issue. What I would like to know is can you replace these 'bolts' separately or is it a major/expensive job!

 

yeah, done quite a few on mine in the past.

hacksaw bolt off as close as poss, then use a air chisel to push out (very tight fit).

New bolt will fit itself pretty much when tightening.

This is how I've done them in the past anyway......worked for me!

 

Not as bad as I 1st thought then, just annoying. Think I`ll let the dealer fix it though.
