the screw to hold on brake discs

[bobthecod]

i have been looking on the internet all day and cant find anywhere that sells them.. mines snapped and im getting a new hub.. does anyone know where i can get hold of one?

You don't actually need it to be honest!

It's only designed to hold the brake disc on to the hub until you put your wheel on.

It's the clamping action of the wheel/wheel-bolts that allows the disc to do what it's supposed to do

GSF sell replacement screws for about 20p I think.

But I wouldn't be going through the hassle of fitting a new hub just for that.

got a snapped wheel bolt aswell.. lol

A local garage/machine shop should be able to extract the snapped bolt easy enough.... still means taking the hub off though.

damn I'm good, my guess of 20p at GSF was right:

62458 BRAKE DISC LOCATING SCREW G2 0.20

where 62458 is the GSF part number

haha thanks..
and have had some one try to get bolt out.. but it seems that the bolt has been cross threaded by the previous owner and me hitting a pop hole in it snapped it
so its stuck lol new hub and bearing 37 quid..
not all bad

my mate just brought a car with this same problem

i just got him a new hub (well used) from gtikezz

what side do you need?

you can pick up a stud extractor set 4 like 6 quid so why take it to a garage... just do it your self

Both my ibiza's had snaped retraining screws and i snapped to wheel bolts mainly because someone never tightened them up properly and i got bad wheel wobble round and island which must of put stress on them. I brought a full set of new bolts from seat £36 managed to get the 2 snapped ones out no probs and fitted the new ones

the dealer sells them! cheap to

Snapped one before, drilled it out and re-tapped the hole..... takes 10mins, easy as typing this post
