Brake dust cover to stub axle assembly bolts
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2022 4:20 pm
I purchased an exchange stub hub assembly and successfully fitted it.
However, when I came to fit the disc backplate/dustcover, I was only able to fit two of the four bolts. Two of the threads in the replacement hub assembly are either damaged or filled with paint and I can’t get any of the bolts to start. Incidentally, all four bolts fit in the good threads so I know the bolts aren’t damaged.
My solution is to re tap the the threads, but I don’t know what size tap to use.
I couldn’t find descriptions on Moss or Brown and Gammons’ websites.
I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone know what the thread size is?
