Thread repair generally depends on the material, whether it is an internal or external thread, and how badly damaged the thread is. If it is an external thread such as on a bolt or stud, you may use a small triangular file to smooth out any high spots in the thread. Place the edge of the file in the thread and move slowly and firmly around the contour of the thread. In this manner you will be less likely to damage other threads. There are also special tools called thread chasers that work very well. Another alternative, short of replacing the damaged piece is use an old thread cutting die. Since many of today's nuts and bolts are formed rather than cut, an old die will push the damaged threads back in place rather than try to cut new threads. Internal threads can be repaired in the same way by using a tap rather than a die. If the internal thread is in aluminum or cast iron such as an engine head, cylinder block or transmission case, use extreme caution while attempting to repair these threads. Go slow and use plenty of oil. In some cases it is better to take the part to a machine shop and let them repair the damage. Finally a word of caution. DO NOT attempt to repair pipe threads. These are designed to hold pressure, and any damage will cause a leak.
