update on stuck wheel bolt...

[kusee pee]

Thank to the advice on here I've got the bolt out but it looks like the bolt hole is screwed (as is the bolt). The hole will no longer take a bolt. Do need a new wheel hub here? What a b'ugger. It's on my E36 M3 Evo. If so,anyone know where I can buy one? Cheers guys.

Not ideal but you could possibly get away with a Helicoil fix.

Use a KeenSert. Much better than helicoil.

Thanks guys but I'd rather spend a bit more and get an easier fix. Any ideas on where to get a hub?

Any good?

Cheers Sniff - I'll keep an eye on that if I can't get the hub on its own.

Does anyone know if the M3 hub is any different from other E36 ones? Can I get one from any E36? TIA.

Sourced a hub for £45 including postage from the link below - thought I'd post it as it looks a useful site:

Cool, glad you got that sorted Tim. I take it they'll include a few bolts for you then?

Cheers Rich, yeah it's all good. I've circumnavigated the bolt problem by ordering a set of longer bolts so I can put a small spacer on the front.

Thanks for your help mate, much appreciated.
