Re: Rear axle shaft thread broken
Soooo, new day, new luck ...
@ GRutter Just like in the video, I had imagined it. It should be a repair that works first.
Thread repair nut or die: Thanks for the tip. But thread cutting dies in (for us) US special threads are also available here in the shop. That is not the problem. The problem is with the nuts. You can also buy nuts in UNF here, but not hardened / high-strength ones!
Like GRutter, I already had the idea of simply cutting over the existing thread with 9/16 "-18 and using a smaller nut. But you don't get this hardened here, or at least not as tight as you want as Syncro said, switch to a metric thread. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to get a long hardened castle nut with a longer thread.
I've even bought a die for metric M15x1.5 threads. Also a special size here in Germany. However, I did it without thinking. The core hole diameter of 5/8 "-18 is 14.5mm ... not 15mm. Half a millimeter is missing. So it will probably be M14 after all.
Greetings Andy
