Hey guys, I picked up some aisin hubs a while back and decided to put them on the 4runner today. Got the first one on just fine. Did the same on the second one and as I was bolting the dial cap on one of the bolt heads ripped off. So now I've got part on the bolt stuck in the hub body. Any ideas on how to get it out without damaging the hub body? I tried a tap and it must be in there pretty good because the tap just snapped in half...flust with the rest of the bolt in the hub body. Thanks in advance

Go pick up a bolt extractor kit. Home depot and Lowes both have them. You'll need to drill a hole in the snapped bolt and use one of the extractors to back it out.

I've tried that and the extractor snapped when I tried to back it out. screw extractor is what I meant by the tap earlier.....didn't work..just snapped in half. Thanks for the input though

can you weld another thinner bolt to it, and try it that way?

AW1090

that might could be done.....I'm not to good with the welding, but would that hold when I try get the bolt out?

thanks for the input guys, lubed it with a little pb blaster. tried the screw extractor once more and it finally broke free
