I'm at a loss as to how you messed up the threads. If the thread is
lightly damaged, you can use a tool called a thread file. This tool is
also great foe wheel studs. KD Tools makes one for a reasonable price.
Go to http://www.mytoolstore.com/kd/kdspec08.html#2228 for more info.
Every tool box should have one!

Hello all --

I'm in need of a 14mm die (1.5 thread) to fix the threading on my
alternator.  Largest I can find anywhere is 12mm.  Does anyone
know where I can find one??  Getting very frustrated ...

TIA,
Tonya
