Re-tapping a threaded hole
I am thinking of drilling out and re-tapping a threaded hole in the front of my YJ frame. The original thread is 1/2 inch. Will it work if I drill it out with a 1/2 inch bit and then tap to 5/8 coarse thread? Another option I'm considering is to drill out the threaded holes at the top and bottom of the frame to 1/2 inch, inserting a crush sleave and a long 1/2 bolt all the way through. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Re-tapping a threaded hole
Someone with Oxy-Acetylene could blow it out, many times not even
needing a thread chaser. I have had success using a half inch drill and a dull bit that would heat and bind enough to screw the stud through. maybe use a little penetrating fluid first. Remember that's just a nut looking thing in an O too thin frame. It's just a nut, knock it though, and hook a wire to a bolt and fish it through some existing hole it the frame. And there a nut that can be placed it the frame and tightened down to replace the stock POS. I can't think of it's name.

Re: Re-tapping a threaded hole
If this is the threaded hole for the bumper that I am thinking about, the
one that you are supposed to mount tow hooks on, then maybe, just maybe you can access the inside after you get the bumper off. It doesn't have anything like a real nut, just some threads chased into the frame rail. I really, really doubt that it would hold a 5/8 coarse thread.
