Your car should fire up straight away. Could be injectors, could be fuel pressure reg, could be ignition bits in need of tending.. Need more details.

You should be able to heli coil the hub. Attaching wheels to your car is not a place to risk suspect threads.

I'm curious as to how it stripped out in the first place..did someone use an impact on it?
