I had to do that after I smashed the tube. It was scary but did work. Unfortunately I forgot what thread it is. I took the nut to a friend who has a bunch of that stuff. We matched the nut to a tap then used that size die to repair the tube. Good luck.

I think it is 5/8-18 NF. Maybe someone can verify that.

If it's not too bad you can use a thread file to " clean up " the threads .
