Is there a trick for...

[KirkerBezerker]

When you are mounting your wheel back onto your car, is there a trick to make it easier to get the holes in the rotor to line up?

Use the alignment tool in the trunk tray.

Haha i dont have any of the tool kit. I guess i should probably look into getting one.

I was able to get 3 of the bolts to tighten down but 1 of them just spins anyone have this problem?

you probably need a new hub if it spins freely, you might be able to get away with re-threading but you would need a different bolt.

[KirkerBezerker]

So i would have to replace the hub and the bearing right?

Easier to just put some loctite on the back of the rotor. Just enough so that when you need to replace it you can just smack it with a hammer.

Since you are most likely going to pull the inner race of the bearing out with the hub you better have the bearing on hand too. Front or rear wheel?

[KenC]

Yeah, you stripped one. Buy a new hub... It's the whole hub/bearing assembly.

I like the loc tite technique for sure! It is my rear drivers wheel.

How long do you guys think i will be able to roll on just three lugs with the 4th loctit'd on?

[george graves]

Hang on. Let me do some math.

3 lugs / 4 lugs. Carry the 7, times pi....er...integrate with respect to darwin...dd/dt from 1 to knucklehead.

Ah yes! The answer is 1.32 years.

Ever replaced a rear wheel bearing before? You need a special press tool to do it.

Just long enough for your wheel to fall off, no more no less.

Do you really think loc-tite has any tensile strength at all? It's fucking glue!

also if you glue the bolt in place it will essentially be there for looks. since the threads are stripped it will have no torque.

[KirkerBezerker]

Haha well i didnt think i could actually continue to DD on it just wanted to know if i could limp it over to the shop?

[Fusion]

I thought you meant the small bolt that holds the rotor to the hub.
Nevermind what I said.
