Ok so ive swapped it to the TL-S already but this time i wanted to swap to the wooden MDX wheel I got.
Got everything apart just fine but when it came to pulling off the wheel, disaster hit. The thing wont move at all. I remember the first time we did the swap it just popped right off by hand. Didnt even need the wheel puller. Well, this time around I got the wheel puller just in case.
As I said, everything went smoothly til came time to pull the wheel. It was on tight so i had to use the puller. I got it from my local autozone as a loaner tool. I followed filtsai's guide and hooked up up just right. It didnt work though. I threaded all the bolts as told and turn the drive bolt but nothing. It did not pop off. I turned it some more and managed to pop one off the bolts right out of the sockets that i screwed them into to pull the wheel. I then took everthing apart and saw that the drive bolt had pressed into the middle 14mm bolt hole. It's basically fudged. I tried to screw the bolt back in to see if it was ok but it didnt thread in. Im screwed.
Frustrated, I yanked and pulled on my wheel to no success. I dont know wtf to do and want to swap that friggin wheel since i spent some money on it already.
Any ideas?
Oh yah, that autozone kit is now has two fudged thread bolts because they are stripped. Will they keep my deposit for it?
