wasnt snapping or meaning to come across as a tit, was just joking about. matt would understand talking about it other day!
going to look at getting new hub/flange/bearing as thought they needed to be pressed together! just need to get it sorted asap now, fiat bolts are soft as anything though and the rest of it didnt take much to mash up. was talking to my friend says common problem with fiat bolts sticking out too far picking up crap then mashing the thread when it comes to taking the bolt off.
anyway, ringing round few place tomorrow get best quote, expensive month just spent about £800 on few other bits, just want to make sure i won't need a new brake disc as well?
thanks for the help though guys even the nothern ones

I dont i just use a big feck off breaker bar.
:yeahthat:
I was taking off a bolt when i had a puncture on a normal steel wheel. The bolt had never been taken off since i have had the car but whilst taking the bolt out it was threading the hub. I had to get a complete new hub. VERY EXPENSIVE. I got it on warranty because i argued it until i made there ears bleed. If it is your fault though it will cost £250-300 because that is what they quoted me.

yeah im not going to try and make fiat fix it was my fault and i know it, i abused it to get it off tbh, using my favoritest fiat specialist place in the world who were absolutely brilliant with my old hgt and have saved my life again, new hub,bearing and fitting for £100 cheaper than my local dealer and can do it before the weekend!
just got to be careful when doing anything with wheels isn't hard to ruin them at all.
