Default Re: Rear axle shaft thread broken

The only negative is that the nut for that axle will be different from any other and must not be mixed.
Yes, well, the "self-made nut" will certainly be visually different from the others, which makes it difficult to confuse them. I will know the problem, there will be no sale of the car in the foreseeable future, so there shouldn't be anyone confusing the nuts.

To help cut the threads in the home made nut you might try tapping it first with a 9 / 16-18 tap.
You mean, so that you first have a guide where the lathe tool goes? I don't know if that's necessary. It's actually just a matter of setting the lathe. The feed is set to 18 turns per inch and then turned 1 / 100mm out until the test mandrel fits. But I can certainly address the issue.

Thanks to everyone.

Greetings Andy
