Uh oh. I got brake problems!

Silly me.

Only for Randall, today I asked one of the dealership mechanics what they do when the threads are stripped. He said they put in a time-sert if the customer does not want to pay for a new hub. His does it right on the car with a normal portable drill. He did say the time-sert kits are a bit expensive.

Timothy: 9 am. If you leave Dallas at 4:30 am and stop to pee because of all the coffee you're drinking, you'll be in Magnolia on time.

Jeff: I was not expecting you to chime back in and tell me that! Now I'm really pleased I'm trying it.

The Time Sert Kit was $157 plus s/h from Dallas. The inserts themselves were two bucks each. The kit is NOT cheap, that's for sure. However, it's more than a thousand bucks less than replacing the wheel carriers plus all the labor to do it.
