I agree. This seems more like a job for a timesert since they have a  
seat at the top and lock in place at the bottom. http:// 
www.timesert.com/

Inserts are in fact stronger than the original threads if used in an  
aluminum part but I'm not sure that the same can be said for a steel  
part.

All things considered, I'd be swapping out the hub. Of course I  
already have a few spares laying around. As usual, call Chris at  
Force5Auto. http://www.force5auto.com/index.html
