    Hub Screws

    G/Day, ok, tomorrow I'm going down to buy the replacement screws for my Hubs. I have removed one of the screws to see if the vacant hole is stripped or had been sheared off, all good there. I noticed that the front Hubs have a different sized bolt head, but the same thread. Is there a reason for this or can I replace all twenty of them with the same bolts? I believe that if the thread is the same there should be no reason, just don't know why this should be so. It is a Perentie (if that makes any difference).
    Thanx Grant

    thread will be the same.......given bolt shop normally have a minimum spend you may have to buy 20, personally i would only buy one if you can get away with it

    grab a small bottle of loctite or similar, remove all your bolts, clean them up and put a drop or two on the threads

    Cheers Weeds, can I clean the screw hole? The threads are dirty, they look and feel greasy, wouldn't that affect the bond? Either with the compressor or maybe some diesel and then a good blow out.

    just give it a good blow out with a compressor.......or petrol/metho as it will evaporate off

    oh, ask for bolts....not screws. that way you will be on the right foot

    Thumbs up

    G/Day, I got the BOLTS (funny they didn't have any screws that would fit), twenty bolts for $16, sweet! I could not believe how dirty they were. Some were covered in dirt, all had been caked in a greasy film. Could that be evidence of something else wrong? Anyway, all bolt holes cleaned with petrol and blown out, Loctite applied, looks good. Thank you to everyone, Grant

    Probably anti seize. I've noticed a fair bit of copper coat used on my truck by the army.

    G/Day BadCo, just read up on anti seize, looks like you may be right. It was very thick and pasty, the petrol removed it. I will be watching them to see if the bolts loosen over time and for any leaks. just gave the Landy a good high pressure clean, we'll see what happens.
