I screwed up big time. While installing 20mm H&R spacers in the rear to fit the 16" wheels from a R129, I managed to strip one of the holes and one is borderline stripped. Not sure how this happened, as I put them in by hand, it looks like the 20mm H&R bolts are pretty soft.

Anyway I have a new project this week I found a hub in the JY, what would be the best and easiest approach; just replace the hub and while I'm at it replace the bearings and handbrake shoes as well or replace the entire assembly including the trailing arm. Or I can see if I can repair the thread?


Looking at this write up, this doesn't looks like an easy job...
