sheerider11 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Holy shit guy. How the fuck did you do that? YOU NEVER HIT THREADS WITH A HAMMER!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 go get ahold of a thread file. start on the good threads and work out, then chase with a die/chaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 you would be supprised how over-looked a thread file is... worst case, you could knock the damaged threads off and use what's left, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastrykiller Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Holy shit. If your gonna hammer threads, ensure you put a nut on so you can chase the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007banshee Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Got it from a buddy...eventually Will be getting a +4 just want to use this one for a roller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your gonna hammer threads, ensure you put a nut on so you can chase the threads. yeah I'm not dumb enough to wack on threads, its. like using an impact on a crank, if I can just get a nut on there enough to hold a wheel decent ill be fine with that then throw it in the scrap pile once I get the +4.

AKheathen Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 psh, with just the threads below the pin hole holding good, you could even ride it that way. might be a little tricky to not cross-thread the nut going on, though.

Pastrykiller Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 You can cut the same amount off the hub that you do the axle to make up the thread loss. It's still a challenge but if you gonna throw it away...might as well experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notsed Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 just grind the threads off where there damaged leaving the axle in tact where the cotter pin goes, so it looks like a bolt with no threads at the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Any decent machine shop can fix it for you for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
