How about calling a machine shop?

The proper way to fix this and probably the easiest is to knock the
old stripped stud out and replace it. A little oil and a good torque
wrench will go a long ways to preventing this from happening again.
But what I have done with some stripped threads.
Is get a grade 8 bolt or nut and cut slots in it so it acts as a tap
or die. Be sure to find a replacement lug bolt with threads that will
match the new threads.

You should have known it was a car related topic by the absence of the
{OT} in the subject.

Speaking of double meanings, there is a list of lines in Star Wars
movies that have se*ual a connotation but aren't meant that way. It is
rather funny.

Oh, I know - I was hoping you forgot to do that...

How do you know they aren't? That movie was made in the 70s, when movies
still had the balls to cross boundaries. (i.e. "Blazing Saddles)

I might have to consider that if there are no other alternatives.

They may be able to direct you to a tool source you're not aware of. Also,
go to the Snap-On web site, locate a dealer, and make a call. Those guys
often know some remarkable resources.

You have a couple of options:

1) Take the lug nut to a hardware store and find a metric bolt the same
diameter and pitch so you know what size tap to get, then go to Sears and
get the tap.

2) Replace the stud and lug nut. There are basically 2 types of lug nuts.
One type has a cone-shaped bottom where it meets the wheel, this type is
common with steel wheels. The other type has a washer on the bottom of the
lug nut where it meets with the wheel and are usually used with alloy
wheels. Both types are pretty common.

Replacing the lug nut is not as hard as it looks. Remove the wheel, rotate
the hub so that the stud that you are trying to remove lines up with a hole
in the backing plate and tap the stud out through the hole. When you
install the replacement stud, push it as far as you can, then install a nut
and tighten the nut to draw the stud through the opening.

==========================

Cathy wrote in another thread that BadGolferMan is prejudiced.

Well, I don't know for sure.

But I like Natalie and I like BadGolferMan, so I hope
BadGolferMan is not prejudiced. I do not read everything
he writes, especially the off-topic material, but he does not
strike me as a hateful person. If he is prejudiced, I would
hope he would consider that a failing and something to work on
to improve himself.

BGM seems like a good guy to me, although our politics are
completely different.

About the topic in this thread, about "a list of lines in
Star Wars movies that have sexual connotations but aren't
meant that way."

It is very easy to interpret something written by an author
in a manner the author did not intend.

For example, I wrote something a couple weeks ago about seeing
"black scuff marks where the wheel and hub mate." Now it
would have been very easy to interpret a hidden racial
meaning in that, although absolutely none was intended.

It's a case of reading too much into what an author writes.
The scuff marks could have been purple or white, but they
weren't. They happened to be black. And it is common to
refer to the the area where the hub and wheel meet as where
they mate. Just like where the "transmission and engine mate."

So no racial meaning should have been interpreted into
what I wrote.

Here is my full quote from a couple weeks ago:

"Yes, I carefully examined the mating surfaces of both the
hubs and the wheels. Very, very little rust on the hubs
and close to none on the wheels. The white-looking hubs did
show some black scuff marks where the inner wheels mated
with them, but that's about it. The black-colored inner
wheel mating surfaces were scuffed a bit, too, but the
scuffs took on a bare metal appearance. Just
about no brown rust where the wheels and hubs mate.
It all looked pretty good to me." [End of my quote]

I think some of you know me a little better. If I have
something to say, I will come out and say it, directly.
I won't couch it between the lines.

I happened to read a good piece of advice somewhere that
concerned online chatting. The advice was not to think
someone is insinuating something because they very well might
not be. It's just too easy to misinterpret something that
is written online, and to take it the wrong way, especially
when face-to-face visual clues aren't possible online.

I didn't say any of the above because I'm on your joke list, BGM.

Unfortunately, I rarely have time to read them. The last joke
I read was months ago, but I do appreciate your gesture of putting
me on your list.

You would know better than Cathy since you are on my joke list.
