well the bottom bolt shredded to bits stopped me removing it so the only way was to angle grind it out! so we go away and do it and this happend ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (cheers DAD )

so.. what do you thnik i should do?? will say its not actually deep but dunno looks bad??

so if needing to replace.. is it the whole unit.. like brake disc etc or what?

id say you could put 5p coin half way in

cast iron thow.. would make it worse me thinks

[drongo boi]

I'd say buy another hub to be safe lol

[starletburkie]

low hydrogen rod will weld cast but i think it will be ok the way it is! just get a better man on that grinder lol

[jezza]

I doubt it would fail but would change it for peace of mind. Shouldn't be too costly for a used hub.

I'm puzzled how he cut it at that angle, nowhere near the bolt.

[morgey]

Just get a new hub and bearing, hub shouldnt be too much off of here and a bearings what £25-30 if the new hub even needs a new one!

brakes, ball joint etc are all removable and reusable on the new hub, better be safe than sorry IMO

I say new hub i mean 2nd hand off a breaker ;)

that bolt is turned around and was the other way jezza..

so i only need hub.. seems the front brake is all attached thow in 1

[morgey]

The brake bolts on infont of and next to the shock and one lower down, 2 either 14mm or 17mm headed bolts

[starletburkie]

all you need is a hub the rest comes off via bolts

[morgey]

Yea if you look at this pic

You can see the two holes where the brake carrier would bolt onto it. The arm to the bottom right is the one you cut through and the one at the top right is the steering arm
