Thread Repair - Rear Shock Absorber Tubes
Posted: Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:48 pm
Has anyone had to repair the threads on the rear shock absorber tubes? I purchased new shocks, and removed the old, but the new retaining nut on one of the tubes wants to cross thread as I try to reinstall the new shock.
I'm thinking of usung a thread file, but I don't know the pitch of the thread. If someone knows that inforation (thread pitch) or has done this repair in the past, any information would be helpful.
Hope all are well in these difficult times.
Best regards,
Tony
