stripped hub threads

[Unregistered]

somehow the threads on my right rear wheel hub got mangled, im now running on 4 bolts. Any suggestions?

try getting a tap and die set and try to retap the threads, if that doesnt work, im not sure, you might need a new rear bearing. You should be relatively safe driving on 4 lugs for awhile though.

is it possible to helicoil something that big ?

I had the same thing happen last spring. Had tire shop do mine. 20 bucks

yep helicoil is a good option for you, those things are strong as hell.

id try a thread chaser before using a tap, tap's are for cutting and will remove metal, a chaser will smooth out the threads there
