Axle/Spindle stripped
I bought some American Racing wheels for my build. I think I stripped the spindle. All i did was take all the wheels off. It came off easy, but wont go back on.
I switched the right / left and for sure its the threads. Is my best bet try and take a die to it? or what do you think? I'm sucking on cash. I tried cleaning the threads up with a wire brush. No dice.
I want to get this done asap. This ride is kicking my **** but its a journey like my Chevelle.

that’s correct. I’m headed to buy a die set now. Apparently no one rents them.

Learn something new all the time with these old rides.
Lets see how good you are. Does this maybe fit the bill?
I hit about 6 auto shops and none looked right. The threads didn't match up. I just ordered one off amazon.

you are correct. Thank you.
I redid the spindle with the die and channel locks. You definitely need lube. Twist back and forth. Don’t try to go all one way. If it sticks, twist back and keep going. Keep using lube. I used PB Blaster.
hopefully a new guy like me can use this. I never did a spindle.
for the die I used. I got off amazon. The previous poster suggested the right one.
