Wheel Bolts
 

I have found that the front wheel bolts feel wrong when being put on, two go in nicely the other three after a few turns feel stiff all bolts work fine in two holes but wrong in others, when torqing up the feel as if the are going to twist off manage to get them to 100N/m but would not like to go any tighter any ideas as the threads all look okay on the hub. ???:banghead:

Sounds like the wheel hubs have been threaded mate. easily done on these. Unfortunately only way to solve it is buy new front wheel bearings they come as part of the hub.

It that an easy job for replacing, and what will the price like ?:bigcry:

Have you got warranty?

Might be worth a blag @ the stealers. :smt017

Before going down the new hub route I would get the correct sized/pitch 'tap' and run that through so see if it solves the issue.

Thanks for the tip will try that, Sytners High Wycombe want £190 for hub inc VAT and that is my BMW member discount of 10% price plus 1 hours labour to fit £75 plus VAT. Don't know if that is good or not :smokin:

what about this mod, I keep meaning to do it myself

The studs look a good idea for all the wheel changing at track days, but still have to get the hub fixed first, any idea on thread side as would like to try tapping out again first, if that fails then replace hub. :bigcry:

Diameter is 12mm, pitch is 1.5, so M12 X 1.5 tap is what you will need.

Cheers for the info, will now go and try to find one. :thumbs:
