If they do you loose the wing and a running board in the process especially if you do go for slamming it right down to the ground

ohhh thats a fecker......at least its only 1 of mine.....the only problem is that i'm running discs all round so if i have to replace the hub its going to be a right old fecker getting hold of a hub....hopefully a good tapping will clean them out

Ah, yes that would be quite poo! Steve's had to retap about 4 of the bolt holes on my Newbie too I'm not allowed to fit wheels anymore....

I know when i ferck the threads too.....when i was taking the old empi's on and off all the time.....changed from studs in the hubs to bolts and now i'm fercked.......one step forward and two steps back

Thats just the sh1ts dude..
