I'm sure this has prolly been posted somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I was changing my brakes the other day and one of the lugnuts was being a ***** to remove. I finally got it off and realized that it was stripped along with the Lug bolt. I plan on using a tap and die to fix the bolt, however I need to know the thread count on the bolt. Anyone happen to know?

Much appreciated if anyone does. I don't really want to have to order a new bolt and have it removed @ a machine shop.

The bolts are not screwed into the rotors.

New bolts and nuts are relatively inexpensive, and are cheap insurance.

 

Sounds like a lot of trouble to fix the lug bolt. Why not just replace it.

 

Buy a new stud and lugnut. It's not so bad to replace the stud.

Rethreading a stripped stud with a die will be so weak as to be worthless. Stripping the stud the first time doesn't leave enough metal behind to get good threads. Plus, there's the whole rolled vs cut thread problem...
