Helicoil thread repair on wheel hubs

[jampot1979]

Hi, I have a 850 volvo which i just bought. I realised today that i was missing two wheel bolts on the front wheel. (I couldnt believe it). The reason they were missing is because the thread is stripped on the hub.

Someone told me that i could repair this using helicoils. Would that be ok?

Helicoils are good, but im not sure id trust it on a car hub to be entirely honest.

If it was mine, I'd be getting a new hub.

Get a new hub from GSF.
Wouldn't trust 2 helicoils on the same hub

helicoils are very good if properly done!!! properly being the key word it would be cheaper and better peace of mind to get a second hand hub there are breakers who specalise in volvo parts
