If you are going to fit a new crank bolt, why not use the old one to chase the thread?

I'm guessing a tap that size will cost a kidney:tapemouth

Just grind a few flats on the old bolt to give the swarf somewhere to go, dose it up with some cutting lubricant and away you go.

Just use the bolt like a tap, turn forward and back to clean the threads.

Providing you are not trying to CUT a thread and just want to CLEAN, it should do the trick:classic:
