Guys - i had a flat spot on one of my wheels (after markets) so i had to put my original ones back on. Anyways i put them on and noticed a wired sound so turned back home and i hadnt put one of the bolts (locking nut) on tightly enough so i took the wheel off and was going to attempt to put it back on again. upon doing so i noticed the thread on the bolt was messed up - it is also on the car side too. do i just need to replace the brake disc or is it a bigger problem than that?

Help appreciated guys

The bolts dont screw into the brake disk, they screw into the hub itself. They are around £100 each to replace. You could chase the threads to see if it cleans it up so you can tighten the bolts again.
