#1: Changing my hub Author: suni, Location: East AyrshirePosted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 11:11 am ---- My hub needs replaced as one of the bolts accidently sheared last week as i was tightening it.
I've got the new hub in the garage just wondering how hard it is to do this yourself? Should i get a mechanic up to fix it, I dont want to risk running on 3 bolts.
Thanks.
Also the bolt cannot be taken out, tried giving it heat and dont want to bore it out as it will most likely ruin the thread.
