**Search doesn't seem to be working. Sorry if this has been asked/answered** What size die do I need to repair the threads on the outer tie rod on my 94 GT?
I was hitting the spindle to free the tie rod, missed and nicked the threads. Now the castle nut wont start threading back on.
I'm assuming you don't have any and you're looking to buy one? If so, just get a few nuts from the hardware store and see which one it is before buying a die. Cheap way of going about it. What you can also do is measure it if you have a scale or even a tape measure would probably do it (micrometer being your best bet to be able to tell if it's metric or not). If you do, just get a measurement and post back, I'll be able to tell you what the thread pitch is. EDIT: Looked through Google images and I'd say more like 5/8-11 unless it's metric.
Never seen one of those. Post back how it works. Hopefully it opens up far enough, it says it's a 1/2" max.
Yes, but this front end has been an onion of issues (rusted/broken hardware, broken ball joints that are seized to the control arms, control arms that crack when pressing said seized ball joints out, etc.); so I’d like to repair the threads instead of replacing the end and getting to the next layer.
