Front Hub woes :(

Quick quezzie?

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

Or is it as I suspect a new item?

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

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.
