spinning wheel bolts !?

[Cory]

bought some wheels and a fitting kit. got delivered this morning so have been fitting the new wheels.
went all round the car torquing up the wheel bolts, and i found two that are just spinning on one of the rear wheels.  so i jacked the car back up and removed the two good bolts. the other two are just spinning. wont come out, wont go in any further. does this mean they have cross threaded the rear hub? seems a little odd.

also with this in mind is it safe to drive down to the garage? 10 mins away

thanks in advance

I would not be driving it at all tbh 

[Cory]

any idea on how to get the offending bolts out?

[Seanl]

They're not just some sort of locking wheel nut that you've mixed up and stuck 2 on that wheel are they!?

[Cory]

no, im pretty sure the thread in the hub has been destroyed. getting them out is going to be a fun game . . .

[Cory]

if i took off the hub nut, and wheel bearing, would the wheel not just come off of the stub axel attched to the brake drum?  does that make sense? because surely the wheel bolts aren't long enough to go through the brake drum and into brake back plate?

If you have two good bolts then I would personally take a chance and slowly /carefully make my way to a garage that is close by...they can then deal with the situation.Just use a bit of common sense and don#t travel in rush hour traffic...two correctly torqued up bolts and the wheel is safe enough!

Bollocks to that! I wouldn't risk it!

Each to their own! It would be a slightly different situation if he had to travel down National speed limit roads...we are talking thirty miles an hour/ten mins max! Don't be afraid of the dark lads!
