Tis the front
Undo the hub nut, caliper and disc off, pull the flange off...

Tap the new one on, bolt it all up..

Cheers all!


Forgot to mention the other 'minor issue' - Garage door broke on me too, so tools very inaccessible, esp my jack!

  Yea, the fronts are a hub assembly like on an Omega. Cost me £75 for aftermarket good brand when I had to do one on my Zaf A

The CDTi front hub is a big beefy job and the same as used on the VXR, its not the 'standard' and more common one.

Amazed that broke though, if it was the OSF the bolts were run in by hand and then torqued up.

Is the thread actually damaged?

Cant really say on how damaged, I just know removing the last bit of bolt wasnt easy, and I cant thread a new one in now, hopefully just needs a tap running through to clean it up.

Its Passenger front, and not sure Ive ever taken it off in honesty

First one I linked too purports to be suitable :-\

Only reason it would have been previously removed would be if the bearing had failed...

That's odd. The behavior described usually occurs if the thread protrudes through and either goes rusty or gets damaged by striking something.
Are there any signs of a foreign body getting stuck behind the flange?

Well with huge thanks to b4ndit, I am now sorted.

He lent me a tap, which got the job done in seconds.

Not only that he had a spare wheel bolt which has saved me from having to use a locking bolt which I hate.

No signs of damage anywhere, guess it must have been 'windied' up to stupid torque once or twice before my ownership/
