Posted April 1, 200817 yr comment_242657 Does anyone know what the thread size & pitch is? It looks like a 15mm. I need to chase the threads in the crank before I put a new bolt in there.Thanks Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27587-crank-bolt-thread-size/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 2, 200817 yr comment_242701 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:tapemouthJust 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: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27587-crank-bolt-thread-size/#findComment-242701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
