99 tahoe hub bolts????

[billwagner70]

hi im new here and just bought a 99 tahoe.when i come to a complete stop my brake pedal is pulsating so i bought 2 new hubs/wheel bearings and new brakes and rotors.so i start on the drivers side and when i get down to the 3 hub bolts they are rusted very bad.there supposed to be 15mm but i fit a 14 on them to get them off..then i get to the passenger side and the 14mm just spins on those hub bolts it looks like someone stripped the hell outta them and then just gave up....i tried to pound a 13mm socket on the bolt but its just a little too small to pound on..i tried heat i tried bolt out kits ive tried every thing and cant even get 1 of the 3 bolts to budge. so my question is is there and tips that can help me get these out?????or is my only option to cut retap and replace the bolts???and does anybody know where i can find new hub bolts ive been looking everywhere and cant find them anywhere????

Can you weld a larger nut onto the bolt head?Wait till it cools to try and remove,Heating the bolt causes it to expand(this makes the bolt tighter in the threads).

theres just really no room to do that you have to go through a hole in the hub just to get to the hub bolts!! noone knows where i can find new bolt on the web??

if you cant get to a junk yard try rockauto, click brake/wheel hub, then go to disk brake hardware kits, you should find it there

i checked rock auto and a no go they dont have them bolts and i guess i can check a scrapyard but due to these bolts being on the front instead of the back of the steering hub they rust pretty good and dont know my odds of finding three good bolt ill have to check tomorrow.

DO NOT USE USED HUB BOLTS. You will so screw yourself. If you cant get the old ones out properly replace you steering knuckle. The hub bolts are at a dealer if needed. Gm part should be 15995614.
