I strongly agree and will be ever the more diligent to tell them next time to NOT use the air gun when reinstalling wheels.
I suspect you are right about the hub. Would you know if I could tap new threads into it? The 'tap' I used to chase the threads was from a kit that Autozone 'rents' out and it was not a tap like I have ever seen or used in the past. Not nearly as 'aggressive' in looks nor in function (it seemed to me). IDK, maybe it is the 'new and improved' tap design of the 21st century!?!? It didn't seem to be doing much as I twisted it through the hole.
