crap wheel bolt help?

[Cory]

its only a 1.6 driver so just brake drums. i only replaced drums pads and bearings less than 3 months ago, so its a little annoying.

heres a pic of the old vs new bolts. the thread is exactly the same. but the shoulder of the bolt is alot longer. could the shoulder have passed right through the brake drum, so the end of the thread is now inside the drum not making contact with it - does that make sence?

do you have alloy or steel wheels if alloy youll have thread in the drum but if you have steel there the rong sort of bolts still should have thread in the drum though where did you geyt the bolts as they look cheep and brittle may have just threaded 2 of them

the wheels are lenso bsx's. not the best of quality i know, but my budget doesnt allow much more. and the bolts i got from rimstyle

[herr schimdt]

wasnt slagging off you wheels mine arnt expensive actually they are mgzr wheels but they look good and thats what matters try whats been said then and then report back hopfully you can get them off with not to mutch hastle 

[Cory]

will do. im sure it will get sorted some how. didnt think you were rippin buddy 
just wish i had a garage with light

[Cory]

well i got the stub cap, split pin, and washer out a piss of p*ss.
can anyone tell me what size this bolt is? i think its around a 24mm but my socket seems
to have gone missing - typical

i think its going to be a pretty easy job after all  

[herr schimdt]

if you aint got a socket you could just use a hammer and chisel to tapthe bolt around bit bodgy but it works as for the size 24mm i think

[Cory]

rather just walk down the road and buy a socket. haven't got a spare nut

The silver bolts are correct for aftermarket wheels

im not on about wacking the crap out of it all it should take is a couple of taps and the nut will be fine then just tighten it up with pliers as it shoulnt be realy tight any way
