12x1.5 rings a bell with me to. is it safe to helicoil something that will be under the stresses that a wheel will be under? a new wheel bearing/hub would be my 1st choice and only about £30 iirc.

front is very easy and can be done in under an hour for a semi handy diy mechanic. involves removing but not disconnecting the brake caliper (2 x 19mm bolts)removing brake disc(1 allen key grub screw) and the large 36mm iirc hub nut.the front wheel bearing comes complete with new hub.Keg_gt wrote:how difficult are these to cahnge then?

and as it would need to be stripped apart to be sent to the machine shop to be helicoiled anyway its easier to replace the part.hoshy wrote:100% agreed with fuzzy on the hub replacement - better option.
if it's the back that's dodgy you can quite easily swap the trailing arm too.

Can anyone confirm this is the right size please? I will be doing this job soon and will need to arm my toolbox with the socket, as i dont currently have any sockets that big.
Cheers

Because someone on here will know the correct size and i don't want to have to go to halfrauds halfway through the job to buy a gash socket that might crack when i can buy a snap-on one on-line beforehand with a lifetime guaranteeScoupe wrote:why don't you pull the wheel off, and measure it with verniers, then you can be 100% sure you're not wasting cash!
