Drill out, rethread and use a hellicoil rather than change hubs ?
success is only limited by a weak mind
Can you not just pick up another one?
Timeserts! Assuming it's deep enough. Helicoils are a temp fix imo, and I wouldn't use a temp fix on brakes... at least not as a permanant solutionOriginally Posted by bazil
Or just get another hub as said. I keep a collection just because I went through 4 bearings in 2 weeks (**** quality parts) and it's way easier to change a full hub after getting the bearing sorted, than try and get it all done in a day because you need the car. Will probably build the lot up and keep as spares when I build the track car, just in case bearings cause problems. Might need some driveshafts with CV's on too thinking about it
I had a spark plug thread coiled on my old E16, worked fine
I get what yous are saying though, it's not hard to get another hub I suppose

I've seen a gnarled up hole where a spark plug helicoil used to be... never seen one where a timesert used to be! Also seen a bike cylinder head I think it was, with 5 helicoiled holes and 1 timeserted, and 5 dead threads and one alive
Of course I never used to see the helicoils that did work because they didn't need fixing, but the fact I never saw a timesert fail as long as it had a deep enough hole, says a lot!
The kit also costs 10x what a Nova Hub would, so I'd get another one myself.

I opened the garage today with the intention of doing some work on the Sport...
...finished my roll up, shut the garage door, went inside, cracked the bicardi out, should be blasted again in a hour

Lmfao, i like this new Edd, every post is epic
This year I've decided to drink more, not bother to even try giving up smoking and put some serious miles on the Sport, it's meant to be driven not in the garage all the time under a sheet, still won't take it out in the wet tho
Worked on straightening the front bumper and repairing the damage to the fiberglass bonnet.
