A bolt sheered off inside my drivers side front wheel hub. On removing it, the hub thread was ruined (I'm good at breaking broken things)

Now I'm having trouble finding parts (maybe they don't exist???)

For the rear you can pick up a hub and bearing for around £20 they come together BUT I can't find a front hub ANYWHERE, do they go by another name?

I can find a front drivers side wheel bearing, but no hubs. Are they that rare??? The rears are everywhere.

I need a hub and at least one m12 x1.25 bolt (20mm thread length) might as well do the bearing at same time. Checked my local fiat supplier, 7 euro for 1 bolt. I dread to think how much they would charge me for a hub and bearing.

breakers or want to buy on forum or helicoil in local eng shop

if you run in a tap that might salve the threads

use trace of copperslip on first few threads in future

Wanted new when I saw how cheap rears were. Was only going to replace hub, but bearing looks cheap enough.... just got to find new hub and bolts from somewhere.

I'm in Ireland so online is my only option. Breakers yards are a rip off, mechanics here buy from fiat.

rears are cheap cause the bearings are integral and are cooked by the drums.

fronts are rarer than leprechauns or snakes...

Yea that's what iv found. My mechanic recommended getting one from a breakers yard, but i was hoping my postman would do the hard work for me.

Remember, Cinq and Sei front (and rear!) hubs are identical.

You Ming are a top bloke.

Helped a fellow secret Glaswegian :worship:

That site has the wheel bearing at a reasonable price too.

The delivery charge is a bit extreme. I may see what I can do with that, DHL are the only people that can find my house (not too helpful explaining I live next to a field, opposite nothing and round the corner from nowhere hahahahaha)


I presume the flange doesn't come with bolts. They don't seem to stock cei or sei bolts, but they do have mk1 pinto wheel bolts. I think puntos have M12 x1.25 bolts, but I don't know the thread depth. I think I need 20mm??? Got standard sei alloys.
