Has it snapped at the hub?? If so the hub/disk will have to come off, as they are pressed in.

The Buggers at the Mitsubishi Service Centre wanted to charge me $90 bucks to fix the thread so I did it my self and it cost me $4.50 and a little time and now its fixed thanks Guys for your help.

good work!

For future... Its caused by over-tightening or cross threading! Mine happened 1000km after beaurepairs put some new tyres on... I teared up and they did it for free!
