Quick quezzie?

Is there a recognised Helicoil Kit for a Front Hub thread repair?

Or is it as I suspect a new item?

I have had to go for new hub and studs, as wheels being changed a lot on track days.

my hubs have never been changed and ive done a few as well. Is it the studs that cause it?

had a wheel stud that refused to torque up @ Spa in October

removed the stud to find the hub thread still on the end of the stud :banghead:

just wanted advice on whether a heli-coil repair would be up to it.

Just change it. Front hub and wheel bearing.

Helicoil should be more than up to it, if done well it will be more durable than the original thread.

My thoughts exactly

A good quality Irwin kit should be A1

Do you know what thread it is? We have dozens of helicoil sets (mainly smaller threads though), I can have a looksee as we may have a tap and insert tool.
