Question Installing hub back on, where are you guys getting your all thread rods at?

Rented 2 installers and none of them have a threaded end long enough to reach the crank, went to ace/lowes/depot and none of them have the correct pitch thread....Forgot how I got it one last time also haha.

You guys ordering them offline? I cant even find an all thread bolt long enough either.

I went to a local bolt supplier that sells to the public. There are several in my area, I'm sure there's several in most metro areas.

This homemade tool works fantastic btw!

Where I got mine- had to order it at my store, though. Took 2 days. I ordered a 24" piece, enough to make 3 of them, lol. Small (good) local hardware stores often have it, especially those close to farming communities.

Just find a long bolt with enough thread and cut it.
