If there is a bit of bolt sticking out of the hub, you could try tapping it round with a hammer and small chisel...otherwise it's the extractor method.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Gna heat it up and use the extractor 2mo. Still got 4 bolts that the air gun would not budge 2 on each side. Gna use the breaker bar 2mo as i didt think i would need it with an air gun  ________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3 |

the reason it snapped is that is it seized or over tightened and as a result i very much doubt you will get it out, had this a few times. If you do try then get lots of heat on it with gas |

They can also get seized because people don't grease the bolts. I always grease wheel bolts, it stops this exact issue from arising.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Retap what metal?If he's drilled the thread out, you are basically ****ed. Unless it's straight, in which case, you could drill it out and heli-coil it. However, its a wheel bolt - you kinda want them to stay in place  Copperslip in future! It's the dog's  ________________________________________ Love thy 6 |

If you buy second hand make sure you change the bearings as I bought a second hand hub which was meant to have bearings that were fine to reuse, and Rich said they would of been dangerous to drive about on. Good thing I fitted them and the car never made it back onto the road till after the bearing was changed. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |
