Glad you went this way and not the rethreading route. Could not remember if the thread was fine or not so I looked and it appears to be sort of medium. Besides using an impact gun to start it I cannot see how you did this but your "oops" was pretty darn cheap so hey you learned and got off easy to boot! From earlier threads: I torque both sides and that is my recommendation. Since you have to do it anyway take some time and make sure it is aligned correctly and consider removing the brake heat/dust shield as well. The rear rotor looks awesome without that there IMHO. I'm doing it when I swap out to a 240 sometime next season...
Stripped axle and bolt
I removed my axle to install my new license plate and found out that I had entirely stripped the nut and partially stripped the axle thread. Must have over tightened it after I tightened my belt. Does anyone know of somewhere to get a replacement bolt and/or axle? I am going to bring the axle to a guy to re-cut the threads tomorrow and see if that holds. :frown:
