STEELMAN 60375 9-Piece Split Die Wheel Stud Repair/Rethreading Kit

place behind the damaged threads and thread off to fix.

Great tool! I was putting my winter tires on and one of the lug bolts was cross threaded what a nightmare, I called around and it would be about $200 to fix so I decided to do some research on how to replace and found that I didn't want to mess around with moving brake parts just to get this out even though a new lug bolt is about $5. So went ahead and go this thread chaser and problem solved!

absolutely a must have item....was able to clean up the wheel studs on my RV after slight cross threading..Coincidentally, they also work on some mower spindle threading...so a useful tool to have. Allows you to get behind the defective thread and chase it forward!@!

This Split Die saved my butt. I did not realize until too late that the threaded shaft was 1/2-20 not 1/2-13 until I had cross threaded a few turns on my boats steering mechanism. Fortunately there were still several undamaged threads but not at the end of the shaft. How could I know where to start rethreading so it would line up with the undamaged thread. This 2 piece rethreading die solves that problem because you can open the die and position it where the threads are good and use the die from that point out on the shaft so the threads will always line up. I had a little difficulty getting the die to fully seat in the thread root but when I began to turn the die it closed up and cleaned up the cross threaded area easily. It takes a little patience to get the pins lined up with the corresponding holes but not a big deal. I could thread a nut on with my fingers and the threads were pretty tight. This die is worth every penny if your threads are damaged at the beginning.

I mistakenly cross threaded one of the wheel studs on my SUV. The model of vehicle I had made it very difficult to simply replace them. Bought this after seeing someone suggest it on YouTube. Worked like a charm and saved me from an otherwise expensive repair!
