swapped complete hubs over because couldnt undo hub nut, fitted hub to hank no probs but struggling with hub on red mini
when trying to do hub swivel nuts the swivels keep spinning even when the full weight of the car is on them!!! tried jacking it and even that dont work, they would screw on a little then start spinning again
any ideas anybody

Sounds like the threads have been stripped

you were right
the threads were busted halfway down must have been when i was putting the hub back in i stripped them, the nuts went on easy enough just when i tried tightening them up they were getting harder to turn
so in order to remove the hub i had to take a hacksaw to them lol
so ive got one mini that mobile and another thats going nowhere again

hiya steve new swivels are the order of the day mate when re fitting them weight of car should be enough if not a sharp blow with a hammer onto the arm to seat them usually works .......and an air nut gun on your compressor will deffo do it .
