I have no idea how to word this.
I need to chase some threads on a stud to clean them up after sitting in the rain for a year. They're not actually rusted but a nut won't run smooth on them.
They're a size that's not mainstream so I bought the die I needed. The problem is the typical die holders have a very wide span and, without removing the studs (Seriously locked into the aluminum manifold) I only have a couple of inches to work with.
Is there a tool that holds a threading die vertically?
I think, either way, I will end up making one.
