Just about to go get the wagon on the 225dx to do some work and before I started I kicked my tire and it was so loose the lug nuts were almost off :( so I went to the shed to tighten them and it ends up the lug bolt snapped :(((( and to make it worse they don't sell them anywhere I looked, so I was wondering if anyone has some they want to sell or know where I can buy them.

Thanks Colton

Update...Update....

So after taking the wheel off it ends up its not the lug bolts its the hub splines where the bolts go in are 100% completely striped, so I need a new hub not the lugs, so if anyone has a hub laying around just let me know, if not ill just have to buy one off ebay

I have another set and can do a little better directly to avoid ebay fees. ;)

With a kick like that you may have bent the axle also!:lol

If your hub spline is striped you better check the axle spline.

The early 81-82 YT 125 and 82 YT 175 hubs are a direct swap also, as well as the tri moto 200's. I believe the 83-85 YT 125 and 83 YT 175 used a larger axle nut, so the hub would be different.

Ok guy thanks I just got a pair last night, its not the hub spline that got striped its where the bolts go into they have little splines and those are striped, and I checked the axle and the hub splines and they looked great
