Snapped wheel bolt inside hub.

[ShaneyG7]

As title.. ones snapped and left some of the screw inside.. what can i do :(

Its really tight and doubt i will be able to get it out so i was thinking i could swap the whole strut over from my spare VTR.. as mine is a 1.4..

Are the front brake discs on a VTR same as the 1.4?? they look really similar sizes.. mines an imported VTR (1.4)

Thanks if you can help.

iirc the front setup is exactly the same, but you can just take it down to your local garage and they should be able to extract it for you no probs

hmmm not too sure i recent had a new wheel bearing which is where that thread into that cost me 90 fitted

try putting a prit stick on the end and turning it ???

I will try a garage tuesday and if not then looks like im gonna have to swap the whole front setup..

wouldnt be a problem if i just changed one side would it? as if they are the same it shouldnt affect it.

any half decent garage/tyre changing place will be able to fix it. My old man had his E36 wheel bolt snap in his hub and was free to fix as he was buying tyres from the same garage.

drill it out and re-tapp it :)

[speedyvtr]

just extract it you can but the kit to do it your self :)

Are them kits any good though? if the screws snapped its obviously seized??

Will try a garage tommorow :)

what i did with one of mine, was drill a hole inside the broken wheel bolt then put a left hand thread on it, then i put a bolt in the thread and tightend the put the air gun on it and it whizzed straight out. :y:
