Cross-thread on wheel hub

[Insomnia]

Nearside rear of the Brava's wheel hub (coupe brake conversion) has decided to have one wheel bolt thread mash up.

Not amused as the Brava is now off the road until I can either replace the hub or re-thread.

Any tips or suggestions please?

i have a spare hub but its not abs

it will be ok to drive it on 3 bolts as long as you dont go mad.

Anything With Tits or Wheels Will Cost You MONEY!!

Ash, wont the hub on the Marea be ABS?

could do a swap as we only need it to roll a bit when we get it scrapped

I agree with Tom, Hellicoil is the answer

Where and how?

I've had a look on the internet but can't really find anything of much use to point me in the right direction as to what tools or where I can get it/them from?

A helicoil kit that size will cost more than a new hub! take the hub to an engineering shop, a few ££.
