Ideas........Re: rotor-lug bolt 00-95 Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: rotor-lug bolt 00-95, bwalls, Fri, 22 Jul 2005 04:01:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I have a couple of ideas.....
1.) Go to a Saab dealer and have the repair made, then pursue Sears either through a direct approach or throught the courts.
2.) The stripped lug bolt did not damage the rotor, because the lug bolt doesn't bolt into the rotor. On both the front and rear, the lug bolts thread into the wheel hub.
You may be able to repair the damage. Remove the wheel and rotor. Use a 12X1.5mm tap to recut the threads in the wheel hub, and a 12X1.5mm die to recut the threads on the lug bolt; if questionable replace the lug bolt. All of this assumes that you only have one damaged thread. When you remove the wheel you'll know whether the others are damaged. Retighten lug bolts to a spec. of 90 foot-pounds.
Check all lug bolts on the other three wheels. If there is damage on the other wheels as well you may want to talk to Sears or see a lawyer first.
