Changing the wheel hub and sheared a bolt during removal of the old hub. Curious if the steering knuckle is threaded at this point (where it bolts to the hub) or not. (Web search was inconclusive). If not threaded, the old hub should wiggle off with the remaining bolts out. Pic attached to show what I’m talking about.

Bottom bolt sheared during removal

 

I don’t believe that the mount has threads in it just the hub. I am not 100% positive as it’s been awhile.

 

Armyrover for the win!

 

I am on the other side, I seem to recall it is threaded, but again, I can't be 100% sure.

I would suggest you take out the other bolts and see if they are - Im pretty sure they are all the same.

 

You guys are great. My thanks, as always.

 

I removed the other three for the hub, and the bolts are threaded there, but they are on the caliper bracket mounting base, too. Yet the knuckle is not threaded there for the caliper bracket.

I can’t tell at the site of the other three for the hub.

 

Update guys. It appears to be not threaded. Whew!

Top looks like no threading. Bottom has a gap now, meaning the sheared bolt is moving freely in the knuckle.

 

This hubs are easy to remove with the right technique, I have a thread some place on em. I see ya banged good on the wheel stud hub. No need.

 

I would love to read it. I removed another with rust issues and had no need for more than a couple mild whacks with a rubber mallet. This one I had to hammer at for 20-30 minutes with an actual hammer. (First, I thought it was the sheared bolt sticking in the knuckle, but I was wrong.)

 

Here, but read my last post on it. Makes things even quicker and easier in the end.
