    I just had my wheels off to replace my inner arch, now two of the nuts won't tighten there just bounching back out what could be the problem?

    the threads in the hub are knackered and you need a replacement hub

    are they easy enough to remove and fit with the gereral tool or are specialised ones needed? Thanks for the fast reply

    easy enough but just budget for a wheel bearing as well if its a front one. taking apart and reassembly is easy enough, if its a front one just need to grease the palm of local garage/engineering company to press bearing and hub in for you (front only), rears much easier lol

    just take the strut down to them if you can, saves on labour
