sorry no i ment i went to vauxhall to get a new 17m stud and then found out the thread in the hub must be knackered

If you get it re-tapped then it will have to be at least 2 sizes larger.probably looking at a 20mm bolt or maybe get away with a 3/4 inch as that is around 19mm.

I agree with Vauxhall. It's not something to be messed with. Get a new hub or get a 2nd hand one from a breakers. An airbag won't save you if a bodge goes wrong.

Wait, you had the stud replaced? Why wouldn't that have worked? Do you mean you tried a new 17mm NUT?
Get a new nut AND a new stud/bolt.

unfortunate but its repairable if you can get your hands on a Helicoil thread repair kit .This consists of a thread tap and spring like screw in inserts ..You just tap out original hole with 17 mm repair tap and then screw in insert with tool provided.brand new threads. otherwise its a new hub job

Americans stop answering this question. This is a Euro-trash car that does not use wheel studs.

if it takes a nut,then just knock the old stud out and press a new 1 in.the stud comes with a new nut.

The correct and most permanent fix is to replace the hub flange.

buy a new stud from a motor factors and replace it by knocking it out and then feeding the new one through

Have a Heli-coil put in the damaged hole.
