LI lug re-tapping/hub replacement

fazman · 12-11-2015, 10:16 AM

Who in the LI area is good to go to for getting a front wheel hub re-tapped from a mis-threaded lug? I'm hopeful that re-tapping will do the trick rather than changing the hub.

If I can't get it re-tapped... how much would it be for the new hub on a e9x prelci xdrive? What else should I get done at the same time while everything is apart?

Since your XI, removing the hub will destroy the wheel bearing so you'll need a new hub,
wheel bearing and axle collar nut. Labor is between 2-4 hours depending where you go.
