Default Re: Which tap and die set

When cleaning old threads DO NOT be tempted to use taps and dies. There are thread restoring tools out there that are designed to do the job. A classic example of the "wrong way" are back axle banjo bolts which have been "restored" with a die. Then there's the torment of stopping lubricant leaks past the threads.
