Dont ask how but i cross threaded one of the nuts, what are my options? Can i use a thread chaser and chase the thread out and it’ll be fine, or should i just replace the thread, if so, is it much work? Heard the hub has to be removed on the NC to do so but unsure, thanks :slight_smile: Going on holiday tomorrow as well and need to drive a short (1h ish) distance to a friends and leave the car there, will it be okay? Front right wheel, in case it matters

I’d run a die down it , it’s not going to repair the thread but would tidy it up somewhat.

Threads look good where the nut will sit ‘home’ to the wheel.

Steady away with the drive , can’t see it been a huge issue.

Thanks thats just what i was looking for, and yeah just the first part is a bit f*cked, the important part closer to the hub is all good.
