Grease Monkey

When disassembling I noticed the center nut on the carrier was barely tight. After cleaning and examining I found the threads have been partially stripped. It looks like the stud is cast in but I am not sure that is the case. Is it possible to remove and replace the studs?

Are the threads too bad/gone that cleaning them with a thread tool would not fix them?

Its only the center stud. I will try running a die over it. My Son had suggested taking it down to the next smaller size.

Someone with more knowledge will chime in... but I would not take it to a smaller size...

BTW - there is one in ebay...

These are so plentiful and cheap on ebay and TheSamba, I'm not sure why you would sweat rehabbing one.

Just got the rocker arm carrier from Autobahn on ebay. Looks great

Way to go! Now you have the peace of mind... glad you went that route.
