Had new tires installed several months ago and I suspect the garage 'monkey' used the gorilla gun to set the wheel bolts into the aluminum of the wheels - screwing up the threads of one of the bolts.


I was removing the wheels and noticed one of the five bolts was actually not tight. I didn't think too much of it when I removed them as when I was putting the wheel back on and noticed that I was unable to tighten one of them. The threads on the bolt were not V-shaped, about half way on they were flattened to some degree.


Chasing the threads on the hub as well as the bolt did not seem to resolve the issue. I purchased a new bolt from the dealer but it would not tighten either so I'm at a loss what to try next. Suggestions?
