mellonman Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 All after doing some work on my rear hubs i found that some of my threads to the supension bolts where getting a little poor , so next time i work on them i want to clean all the threads up to make things go alot smoother when i next work on them , but i remember something about it being a funny thread size does anyone know what the toyota thread type is ? i was looking to get a kit like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/42pc-Re-Thread-Tool-Kit-Set-UNC-UNF-and-Metric-Sizes-Taps-Dies-and-Files-New-/400359000710?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item5d37418a86#ht_3222wt_1018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Metric is what you'll need but it would appear there are a few non standard sizes. What i mean is larger diameters with finer pitch threads which the tap and die set won't have in it. As far as any bolts go just clean them with a wire wheel on a bench mounted motor or even in a drill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 nice one dunk, maybe one of the files will have the finer pitch i wouldnt know but seems a very handy bit of kit to have on hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clay Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The set in that link is UNF AND UNC. You wont metric and metric fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
