While putting the cyclone back on my car this week i was tightening up the bolt and it just went like butter! Now its left half the bolt screwed into the hub. What is the solution to this?Thanks, Tom

if you can get the wheel off, which id imagine you caneither get a decent pair of vice grips on to it or if there is only a small bit of broken bolt sticking out you could get someone/garage to weld a bolt onto it and attempt to remove it then ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

I've had this, Take off the disc and there should be enough stud to get a grips on it. I bought a 306 a while back and someone had previously used exhaust paste to stick the bolt heads back into the wheel. 2 studs on the 1 wheel! ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

It is quite worrying that there are people out there that will carry out this sort of behaviour! ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

As they are hardened it is very difficult to try and drill them out if that happens.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

agreed, I would only use an extractor as a total last resort, best bet is to try and drill slowly with a very sharp bit and plenty of lube.then wallop a decent sized torx bit in and wind it out. that's if you can't just tap it round with a chisel then get some grips on it. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If you can get it to a garage, have them weld a nut on the end of it and try it that way. The heat will help loosen things up tooDid this to mine the first tyre change I did, but in my case, it was due to the shit locking nut key being made of cheese ________________________________________ Red Rallye - Rolling "restoration"Wishbone Polybushes available |

if you are a member of the aa get him round as he will have the extractor kit, been a member of the aa for donkeys years and they were only too pleased to help. did not even have to get out of the chair. still paying 240 a year for a years membership so it made sense as i had overtightened all my wheel nuts and f*cked the locking wheel nuts. did not know my own strength despite changing tyres for the first year of my life after i left school! it would appear though that scooby gt wheels have a oversized counter sink on them though and the nuts just bury themselves in them if you over tighten them! lesson learned________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

Seriously, S/O easy outs. The best £50 you'll ever spend. As long as you've got 3-4mm sticking out you'll have the bugger out.  ________________________________________ IPhase 3 Astor.

if there's that much sticking out I doubt you will need any tools.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
