Cross threaded wheel hub - Thread Cleaner Chaser Size

[yanto]

Tire shop has messed up one hub thread on the front drivers side. Does anyone know the right chaser size for the E46 M3 ?

Cheers!

You tracking the car? Depending how bad it is you might want to get them to replace the hub. Not sure I would want to risk it. Not an expert but from what I understand a thread chaser should really only be used to clean up the existing threads. If they totally fubared your threads you probably want to tap it instead, comes with it's own risks, if new hub is not an option.

Thanks - No tracking, my plan is to see if I can clean up the threads first, if not I will go with a new hub. Any idea on size?

M12 x 1.5mm

The front hub is fairly easy to replace and only $80 for the OEM replacement.
