Hello all,
I was not too crazy about spoke wheels and due to salty air, the disc bolts got corroded (along with other bits and parts on the bike), and appeared to be seized. All but one stripped when I was trying to take them off.
Using an extractor bit, I was able to get the rest but one wanted to be pain and didn't give in.
I had to drill that one out. Afterwards, during the rethreading the tap bit broke (thank you Harbor af-Freight-to-use Tools!), anyhow. The tap bit is broken and stuck about half inch down in the newly threaded hole, not sure what to do? Am I SOL?
As a side questions, spoked front wheel started to leak badly too so I was thinking about replacing the spoke wheels on my Stelvio for cast wheels, what make/model wheels can I use if another MG cast wheels wouldn't be compatible?
If I can get the wheel sorted out, I was thinking about using Polyurethane sealant for the rims. Any thoughts on that?
