tightened up abit toooo much!!

[sammyboi]

was taking off alloys the other day and i had tightened two up to tight on one of the whells and now its like this....

any help on what i would need to get would be appreciated :grinning: ive looked through haynes manual and found a diagram and it appears that the bolts that come through are seperate from the hub. But im not sure if i have read it correctly!!

 

[paul_k10_Lx]

i think thre pressed into the hub

you can get new ones pressed in i think

 

[Dave Bull]

You can knock them out with a hammer.

Wel, that's what I did anyways!

 

[sammyboi]

cheers paul and dave!

did this happen to you aswell dave?? do you know where i could get replacements??

 

[sonic]

yep, hammer them out the back and hammer new ones in, or get another hub from the breakers.

 

[Dave Bull]

No I didn't break any, but I've seen it happen.

I had to replace the front hub wheel studs for the 60mm NISMO wheel studs so I could use a set of 10mm spacers.

As SONIC says, it's as simple as hammering the old ones out and hammering the new ones in!

Often this will happen if the bolts sieze due to no grease on them too. They should tighten up smoothly.

Nissan I would say, they shouldn't be too expensive.

£3 each, been there done that...lol

when you want to bash them out place over a grid or get two bricks with a gap between.. then bash them out STRAIGHT... nice hard knocks through then use a large flathead to do the final push...

when all out flip over and bash in new ones... nice and firm and straight...

may need some lube... i used vaseline
