Rear hub has been threaded

[Radeonuk]

Hi all

Had my tyres changed today and found out that one of the threads on my rear hub has been stripped along with the wheel bolt Does anyone know how much a new rear hub would cost for an lcr? As a helicoil kit is about £45, just weighing up my options.

Many Thanks
Jon

junk the hub, a new one isn't that much & they're very easy to fit.

Picked up the new hub today cost £80 which was cheaper than I was expecting. Does anyone know the torque setting for the hub center nut?

It's for a LCR. The new hub came with a new locking nut and a new blanking plug. Might have to aquire a bigger torque wrench me thinks.

I wouldn't of thought so, especially as the parts guy said that all the rear hubs on the leon range were the same.
