Cross Threaded This Thing?

[superchessmachine]

They just werent going in I've spent months trying to screw the silver hex in but it didnt work so i just winced and screwed them in. I know this was stupid but how bad did i mess up?

If you cross threaded it then you're going to need to replace the pillow ball hub

Tap and die will work. Just use some loctite. Hey blue not red.

was that the correct axel shaft?. retreading isnt going to work..most hexs have a lock pin thru axel shaft should have tried to re-tap b4 messing it up

You're better off just replacing them. They are reasonably priced.

it was the right thing, whats a lock pin thru axle shaft? this isnt the axle shaft, just the carrier hub

Its very possible. The pillow balls are really important. You can try it and see though. If your racing Id replace it.

Hey I’m cheap. So what I don’t wipe my ass with $5.00 roll of toilet paper that makes my ass smell good. I use left over sand paper

 

[cbaker65]

I would just try forcing them straight with a hammer!..

I feel like a good 400 grit would do a lot better than toilet paper
