Does any one Know the thread pitch and count on the end of the left final drive axle. Had inner axle bearing lock up in the left final drive. when having bearing pressed off had a slip and dammaged threads. have tried to file down but can not get but one turn of nut before it gets tight. looking for thread file or some way to repair threads.
Count the number of threads for an inch. They are fine threads so if you're anything like me you'll have to count 3 or 4 times A number 1 thread file goes to 24 tpi.
Lacking a thread gauge, it's possible to determine the pitch easily by finding a bolt that would mesh with the threads. In this case, it would be a 5/16 NC, which is 18 TPI. Saves squinting and counting. Just not as handy as a gauge.
