This video is about Repairing cross threaded bolts/wheel studs yourself and saving money in the process
Never go wrong with Harbor freight ! thanks for the video, very helpful , going through same situation, the only difference is my wheel studs are fine but a couple of nuts are not good anymore.
Awesome video thanks saved me a ton of money. They quoted me 450 for the one stud
My goodness sir, You have patience! Some these comments and you still try and answer them. Bless you!
Did 3 of these, they all turned out great, thanks
Went to put my winter tires on my car (used car but new to me) and come to find out that 6 wheel studs are cross threaded! Here in Sweden it’s mandatory to have winter tires on in winter so there are many many tire shops that swap out tires. It’s very cheap to have them do it but that also means they have to do a lot to make money. They take the nuts off with an impact gun and also install them with an impact without threading the nuts on a little bit first. So it’s very common to have cross threaded wheel studs. I’m sure they also don’t torque the wheels properly. Long story short, I have to fix these studs but I will do so in spring when I put my summer tires back on. I had to force the nuts on so I could get the winter tires on this one time. I had to drive somewhere and the road was iced over. But since they’re already on no sense is doing the work in the cold.
Two watches.. this guy means business.
My Camry stud got damaged - Thanks to the mechanics that start the nut with air wrenches that can cause this. After seeing your video i feel all the more comfortable and think will be able to fix it. The Camry studs i understand are M12 x 1.5. Going to get a set from Harbor freight that had a metric set on sale for 16.99. if that works i will be a very happy person and all i will need is a new Lug nut that sells for $1.99 at Autozone. I can buy a new hub for under $40 but will have to take the brake shoes apart and not ready for that. I believe there is another option to pop the damaged stud and be able to replace it without removing the shoes and thats the next option if the die set doesnt work. God help me.. i have to get the car inspoected by this month end.
You save me old man! Thanks
If just the end couple of threads are mangled, a thread chaser or die can be used. If it is any farther, even after running a die on it, the threads will be weak. In that case, change the stud. As long as you can get to the back side, you can usually beat it out.
I have a 2017 Tundra with a cross threaded stud on the front right.
I live in the USA did you use the standard or metric set? Not sure which ones to buy
Lisle has a stud tool to replace studs. EBAY has it. That tool is nothing but a die stock and handle. You could get a die socket that is square and the handle. A thread pitch gauge can tell thread pitch. Check if your studs are standard or metric.
Looking to buy the same set from Harbor Freight to retap a cross-threaded nut on my Trailer hitch receiver.
Can you post a link to the kit you used?
Whats the name of this tool
The lock nut is a weak material and mess it up . I need to do this fix
what is that tool called
Where can I buy the tool?
What of left hand threads?
Split die is what you want to chase threads behind the repair and outwards toward the repair. That way there is no chance of starting cross threaded.
