#1: Little accident, any help :S Author: ashleygilbert92, Location: BristolPosted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:01 pm ---- basically i was putting my wheel nuts on and as im a clumsy heavy handed d*ck i over tightend it and stripped the thread from inside my drum brake :/ does anyone know is this easily repairable, i.e a trip down the scrapyard to look for a new drum brake cover??
#2: Re: Little accident, any help :S Author: Seabook, Posted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:04 pm ---- you will need new drum or if you dare you can retap the thread
#3: Re: Little accident, any help :S Author: ashleygilbert92, Location: BristolPosted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:05 pm ---- cool beans and i havent got a tapping set so ill just get a new drum i guess, are they easy to fit?

Pretty sure the police will disagree.

#9: Re: Little accident, any help :S Author: ARRAN, Location: WiltshirePosted: Fri Mar 09, 2012 12:53 pm ---- I'm running on three nuts on the rear and have been since tuesday or wednesday. Just take it steady and you shouldnt have any problems, but get it replaced ASAP. And keep checking the other three are tight

To put a new drum face on is dead easy, takes may6be 10 mins if thats and i would pop down the scrappy with your car and get another, job done!
