'51 Frazer rear axle shaft
« on: October 09, 2009, 10:59:36 AM »
Even though on the right back side of the car I needed to use a hub puller, I am unable to thread the axle nut back on tight. The nut as well as the axles shaft end threads are damaged although it is unknown how considering the effort with the hub puller. On my '55 Studebaker President I was fortunate enough to be able to order a NOS one from a Srudebaker supplier, but unless anyone has any other ideas I guess it's remove the axle and have a machine shop turn it down and rethread to the next size.  Anyone know if any of the K/F vendors would have one of these?  Parts car shaft also bad.

First try a thread chaser.  If you can't get it started you might try dressing it down with a thread file.  Available from anyone that sells tools.
