Stripped Spindle Thread Help
I have a 1979 Chev K10 with front wheel locking hubs.
The locknut and spindle thread (at the outer edge) has been partially stripped. The thread that is not damaged is still usable. I cannot remove the inner adjusting not because of the stripped portion. I have tried to grind the stripped thread away (protecting the good thread by undoing the adjusting nut up to the stripped thread) using carbide grinding bits. All I have achieved is destroying the bits and polishing the stripped thread. I cannot use a steel file because the access is limited. How can I remove the stripped thread? I believe the spindle is forged steel. I have contemplated using a cold steel chisel, but do not want to attempt until I have more info on possible solutions. Hoping someone can help Regards Tony |
