Steering wheel hub bolt size?

[delphis]

hey so I was changing out my new hub for my old one and it looks like the jacks ass that had the car before totally striped the bolts that hold the hub to the steering column so now I am riding with only 1 bolt holding it in and I don't want to drive the car like that, does anyone have the specs on these bolts?

thanks

What bolts are you talking about? There is only one large nut holding the hub assembly onto the steering column.

For a stock wheel, the wheel is integrally connected to the hub as one assembly. For an aftermarket wheel, the wheel is connected to the hub by a series of bolt, and usually they're star or hex-head bolts.

Also, a "nut" is like a donut. A "bolt" is like a banana. What are you talking about?

Now, what bolts are you talking about? What car is this on? What steering wheel and hub do you have?

I am ASSUMING he means that 19mm one right in the center, Ken.

I agree with you, though, the lack of information and ambiguous language makes it hard to see just which one he is questioning.

At this point though, I don't assume anything any more.

well I have a grant hub and there is the large one in the center, and then there are 3 smaller ones that go in around that large 19mm one. I bought a mom hub, but it wouldn't fit onto the steering column, did I just not remove the grant hub all the way?


It looks something like this. the O is the large one in the center.

Okay, our confusion as to what it is you request was well-warranted.
I am going to go ahead and say now that I do not know what it is you're in need of, but I would SUGGEST pictures so someone else could possibly help you out a little better.

[delphis]

ok I will take pictures a little later on because I am at work now.

[delphis]

well here is a pic of the hub.

You are trying to take out your grant hub to replace it with a momo hub?
If so, just take out the one 19mm bolt in the center and shake the steering wheel while pulling on it. Another option is to get a steering wheel hub puller.

A lot of american hubs come with the 5 bolt pattern
