ok i tried to remove the outer flange bolts on the pass hub and started to strip.. are there good replacement flange bolts out there WITHOUT going to the stealership!!

 

Can you pick out the bolts from this pic?

 

I ran into this recently. I thought the axle nut was going to give me trouble but it turned out the hub flange bolts got stripped.

The best bet is the stealership because they will be right length. My bolts are completely rounded off so I'm still deciding on how to remove them.

BTW, its number 22 in the photo above.

 

Hit the top of the bolts with a hammer to flatten them up a bit,,once done that best way is to use a 1/2 inch drive 6 point 14 mm impact socket , make sure socket fits snug .if loose hit bolts a bit more , then use an impact gun ..By the way get the new bolts from dealer , bolts have to be the right length,or you will have issues

 

Yes....absolutely solid advice. I made the mistake of using regular sockets with an impact wrench. It's worked in the past but this time it just rounded them off.

I will try the hammering them in the center trick. Thanks.
