do you know if there is a correct size tool to fixed a barely buggered stud? the first thread on 2 of my studs are slightly messed up from the mallet i used on them
I have used thread files effectively. You could also carefully run a die over it.Originally Posted by Xtrempickup
I think the Buggered Stud tool that Sears used to sell was discontinued back in the early 80's. So many things just weren't as un-buggered, so they quit carrying that line.
Oh, and what they said.

so is there a die that is that size that can be used?
Why not just have the stud replaced? I'm sure there is a kit that will re-thread a 12x1.5, but if you can replace it that may be the better option.

Just want stock studs? I have quite a few laying around...if you need em and I can find em you can have a couple.
I'm sure.
Get a thread chaser, wont' remove metal. I got my set from Snap On, under $100 and it contains a ton of sizes including our head bolt holes. Worth every penny and you'll end up using it alot,
Edit-Sears may sell them too.

no these arent stock or i would just replace. i did it to my MP long studs thats why i wna fix them
cheap and easy: go to fastenal and get a nut that is 12mmx1.5 and cut three grooves into it. It will fail before it tears a thread off. A die will just cut the thread.
i want to cut the thread so that i can get a nut on without it going sideways and crossthreading and stripping
