Stripped lug nut threads

Dream Farmer · Jan 7, 2021

I have some lug bolts that are stripped due to end of bolt damaged. I want to run a tap through to repair any possible damage and get new bolts. Does anyone have the correct thread size for a CT230? I know they are 12mm but not sure if 1.25 or 1.5 threads

Look and see if it will poke through unimpeded. My JD uses a certain length but they were had to get so I just got the next length up and they stuck through the hub a quarter inch. Not a problem. At least I can see if they are backing out at all.

Take a good nut/bolt pair to your local dealer and go from there. I've never put much faith in stripped nut/bolt combo's - especially when dealing with wheel components.

Fronts are 12mmx1.25, rears are 16mmx1.5

Just how bad are the bolt ends mangled/mushroomed?
Would something like this help the situation?

Deburring External Chamfer Tool HSS for Drill Bit, Remove Burr Repairs Tools Remove Burr Drill Bit, Metal External Chamfer Hexagon Shank Deburring Tool (Gold 2 pack) - - Amazon.com

It just might be worth a try if they're not too badly damaged?
