hub repair replace?
#1
Putting my wheel back on today and when doing the wheel nuts back up 1 has stripped, when taking wheel nuts off to begin with they were well tight,
Wheel nuts fine must be hub,

Is it a easy fix or a replacement?

try and get a tap/thread restorer through it. If that doesnt fix it, you could try drilling it out and helicoiling it but i really wouldn't on a wheel bolt. Its a half hour job to change a hub.

New one will need a new wheel bearing as well, the hub and carrier and 2 separate parts. You could as a temp use a Timesert which is as good as a normal thread and can be used over and over unlike helicoils
