Does any one know what thread pitch the axles are? I need a new nut and a die to cut the axle threads back to spec

 

holy crap.

Just get a kit. With a bunch of different sizes. Or buy an axle nut from the store (youll need a new one anyway) and get the thread off that.

That's a pretty important fastening point. I dont know if i'd trust it after I went through it with a die. I'd probably change the whole axle. at 60 bucks its not a bank breaker.

If you do use the same one make sure you use some Loctite Red.

 

New axle?

 

Its M22x1.5

Good to know

 

I did that when I got stuck in the snow last winter and I just bought a new axle. Much easier.

 

Well, no. The axle was already out. I dont want a cheepo outer CV joint that you get with rebuilt. The factory OE shafts are good stuff. The die was $20 and the nut is a few $$. I am considering cleaning the joints and repacking them with Redline CV2 grease. This may help prevent metal on metal contact, which could cause breakage.
