Tap to clean up hole for lug bolts?
The last tire installer who had the wheels off my car messed up the threads in the right rear wheel hub, where one of the lug bolts goes in. Does anyone know where to get a tap to clean up the threads in that hole? I have a new lug bolt, I just need a tap.
From the markings on the lug bolt (from Tire Rack, not a stock lug bolt), it looks like a 13MM bolt - does that sound right? looking around, it seems that nobody has a 13mm tap.

Re: 14mm X 1.5mm. You'll have to shop around some. Sears, Home Depot, etc..pro'lly have to buy a s
Thanks.
Weird - says B13 on the head, and seemed loose in the 14MM plastic size guide they had at a local auto shop - they didn't have a 14MM die to try my bolt in though. I guess I'll buy a set and see how it goes - a tap and die set is a handy thing to have anyway
