[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 99526, member: 1852"] Love this place. Started off with a stripped wheel stud then off to Montreal, Cabot Trail for milk and bread. Nova Scotia and parents perception of the length of trips. Off to Calgary for burgers and fries only 4.5 hours away, restaurant reviews and finally a pan of moose liver peppers and onions and now back to studs. It is what makes this forum special.:Biggrin::thumbs: The kit arrived in record time. Nicely packaged in a hard plastic case with instructions too, threw those away! [img]http://i.imgur.com/IH6UMmKl.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/vnWH6QHl.jpg[/img] The split thread expanded [img]http://i.imgur.com/qHaYxp7l.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/GnT4hfml.jpg[/img] Checked that the tread was cleaned by running a lug nut over the threads. [img]http://i.imgur.com/docIqJTl.jpg[/img] And there you go wheel back on tightened up. [img]http://i.imgur.com/cSJ2Q7Yl.jpg[/img] Once the die is on the treaded part and you have added some machine oil to the threaded portion you can turn it by hand to ensure it is on the threads straight. Then I used a 12 point 1" deep socket that worked well because the face of the socket rests against the hub ensuring the die is cutting straight. Take a turn and back off a half turn, you can feel the resistance when the die starts cutting the damaged part. It took me longer to gather all the tools than to make the repair. Maybe one minute max, and I originally considered this a six beer job, never got the first one open. Worked really well, money well spent. Murray Tool Corporation also makes some professional sets for commercial use and I can see these saving time and money. I was impressed. Thanks again to Keith Tedford for the hint at what to look for.:thumbs: [/QUOTE]
