Brake Disc Relocater Screw

[Tazzy]

ok, so its not important or life threatening, but its something that i like to be in place

noticed today whilst changeing both lower wishbone arms is that on the passenger side, the screw as broke inside the hub, so the disc moves around whilst the wheel is off

anyone know how to take out the broken thread so i can replace it?

thanks

Lots of WD40.
You can eather try and nock it out with a chizal, if that don't work a drill is needed. Is quits soft metal and when started as long you have good drills should come out. tbh its no big deal and would just leave it mate for the hassel it is.

agreed it's not life threatening but it is a PITA when the disc spins round and blocks off the wheel bolt threads without you knowing

from past experiance mate leave it!!!!! it will only go wrong and there will be tears!!!!

easies way is take off the disc, then you should see more of the threads showing and you can get a pair of grips on there.

but id just leave it, agree its a bit of a pain changing wheels but how often do you have them off? and the screw will just snap again anyway

if theres 3-4mm of visible thread, a stud extractor should get it out easily.

I've drilled out a sheared off wheel bolt before and it wasn't that hard. Just make sure you've got good drill bits.

thanks guys, ill leave it then, but is annoying

ive gota take the wheel back off tomorrow, somethings lose and rattling about, think it may be the disc gaurd, if not not, probably something more severe, lol, the rattling sure wasnt there before we changed the wishbone
