crank bolt part 2

Does anyone know the size tap I would need to clean up the threads in the crank shaft. I found a new bolt. Also found that was only half the problem. same problem as:

I measured the bolt and it appears to be 13mm in dia. Although I haven't found any taps that size. So is it 12mm? I don't have anyway of measuring the thread width though.

Now that you have a new bolt get a thread pitch gauge or go to a place that does.

Did a detailed search and found it. 14X1.5mm
Will anyone confirm? And this is what I need:Snap-on

It's most definitely 14 x 1.5mm. I still have mine from when I messed up my crank threads (don't ask). The tap worked beautifully. Good luck.

I got a friend of the family, who manages a Goodyear Service shop, to order the Snap-On rethreading tool for me. Thanks everyone thumb . It's nice to know that I'm not the only one headbang
