what is the thread size and pitch for a stub axle

[dislexicdime]

what is the thread size and pitch for a rear stub axle i was changing my rear wheel bearings and messed the threads up

[goichi1]

damn....if I were home I could tell you, I just took my stub axle into the hardware store in Japan and found the right size die. it wasn't cheap though...

[icehouse]

it's the same as the zx if that helps

It's pretty easy to measure, even with a ruler. It is going to be some sort of semi standard metric size, so find the diameter to the closest mm and then count how many threads there are in 10mm of length, and then divide 10 by that number to get the mm per thread(which will likely be a multiple of 1/4s of a mm). You'll come up with something like this:

Measure 18mm diameter,

count 8 threads in 10mm,

10/8 = 1.25

thread is M18x1.25

thank you

... something like this:

10/8 = 1.25

thread is M18x1.25

this is just an example, not the answer you are looking for.

I'll be home tomorrow and will look in my tool box and let you know what the die size is......stay tuned!

Oops -- did I not make that clear?

Derek,
The funny thing is that I think you were really close. I believe it's an M20 X 1.5 thread, but we'll wait for goichi's confirmation on that

[dislexicdime]

you sir are correct

and i knew it was an example

[goichi1]

yeap, 20m 1.5 pitch. I just looked at the die I that I used from mine.

[Byron510]

Geez, that 'ole grey matter still retains stuff once in a while!!

I did the same exact thing on my car when I was pulling the drum backing plates off. I thought I had screwed the pooch for sure, I couldn't get the nut to start threading on at all - probably because I had used a BIG hammer instead of a press to remove the stub axles (oops!). I took it to a local machine shop and they recommended I use a thread file. Sure enough it worked great and only took a few minutes, I'm embarassed to say that my thread file is one of my favorite tools (I make a lot of mistakes) LOL.

Give the thread file a try if you like, they're cheap and it worked great for me.
