Cross Threaded Wheel Nut! HELP ASAP

[inahole]

What size are Almera studs?

I think its a goer!

A guy near me reckons he'll be able to take the brake caliper off and get to the backside and knock the old bolt out. That sound logical?

Yeah the STUDS are removable but you'll obviously have to replace it.

you can get to it from behind just will have to get the nut off first and will push out backwards towards engine mate. but is the nut on tight if so and the other 3 are on it will be fine to drive on

A new stud will be cheaper than a M12 x 1.25mm die which won't be included in most sets as it's a fine pitch.

Plus if it's badly damaged the thread won't be as strong.

Going to attempt to knock it through after work. Wish me luck!

ALL SORTED! Thanks for the help everyone! Will need some new nuts as about 3 were found to be cross threaded!
