Need help for broken wheel hub thread!

TZ · 05-26-2017, 08:52 PM

I replaced the my F10 535iX rear brake pads today follow the Youtube video and other threads in forum. It is grate help and the job was straight forward.

However, I got a broken thread on one of my wheel hub hole. When I put the lug bolt in, it stripped out the bolt. The lug bolt did not go in. Anyone has idea on how to deal with this. Thanks in advance.

Can you re-tap it assuming you can determine the threading on the Lug bolt?

The hub should be replaced, along with any lug bolts displaying any damage to the threads.

The dealer retapped my hubs due to many install/removal of wheels from shops that apparently didn't know what they were doing. Dealer did it at no cost, but I have a good relationship with my SA

Thanks for the replies.

Replace the rear hub will be a big job?

Yes replacing the rear hub but will require some special tools and it's going to take a couple of hours. The axle will need to be pressed out of the hub first and then the hub can be unbolted from the spindle and removed.
