Still there are times when my 'sidehill garage' method can be invaluable, like a few years back when restoring the 30mm left hand fine threads on my oddball cummins 6at's water pump shaft. PO had pulled the fan clutch but it was included in the sale. The threads had gotten mashed, so I cut the nut off the clutch and slotted it since I could not use a clutch. Flex o Lite Fan Corp had a threaded fan hub in that size for 'certain Chrysler products'......

5/8-18.

Standard 5/8 UNF although it is normally a thin nut.
