really starting to make me mad now
 
I have been having trouble out of my rear hub only on one side.It ether backs the axle to hub bolts out or breaks them off I've tried to use studs it just cleans them off.And tonight 6 grade 8 bolts backed out and 2 broke in the hub.I've used loc tight no go lock washers don't help any suggestions would be appreciated.Btw I'm using 7/16 bolts is this the correct size or are the metric? This all started after me being lazy and letting a shop put a new seal in the hub he broke all the bolt off and had to drill and tab the holes out. I guess thats what I get for letting someone else to work on my junk.

i know factory size they are metric but if they drilled and taped them who knows what size they are

Quick up date lost the outer bearing on that wheel today:madd: so I decided to some investigating,it seems that the moron who drilled and taped the hubs decided to do a quick and dirty job and left parts of the old bolts in the bottom of the holes :argh: no wonder the bolts kept coming loose so I'm fixing his crap job and goning to visit him on Monday :bat: hopefully this will fix the problem.

Make sure you have all the old parts you took out of the hub so you can back up the refix you had to do to your truck.
