Guys

I've proper messed up

Trying to change a hub on the missus 2006 Jetta using I believe m12 bit 3 came out 4th just ripped all internal teeth from the bolt...
Now in my head this seemed like a cracking idea..I got my dremel and tried to turn the round bolt into something that resembled a normal socket and ended up with this

The metal is just not strong enough and the socket just ended up spinning

Any ideas how I can sort this

I'm a idiot lol

Drill it out?

dazza:
If you know someone with a welder weld a nut on to it.

Don't be too hard on yourself we've all done it  :sick:

Patters78:
Cheers gents it's off the car so might take it to a garage see if they can help

Anyone know where to buy the hubs from? Euro wants £180 for both sides
I need the hub with 4 bolts
