    Thanks! Can I borrow an M13 flat wrench? You see I have this hub to replace. :wink:

    Welcome!

    Do you have a photo of the bolt hole that stripped?

    No, I don't. I do have the ugly stripped lug bolt though. I think to get a decent photo of the bolt hole I'd have to pull the wheel and come up with some creative lighting. Why do you ask?

    You didn't say it was a lug bolt, there are three other kinds of bolts in the carrier. I was trying to figure out which bolt was stripped.

    I agree you should change out the hub with the lug bolts.

    Ah! I reread my post, didn't realize it wasn't clear that I'm working with a bad lug bolt hole. Yep, I'm going to change it just trying to find some instructions and torque specs and such to make sure I do it right. Any tips?
