Yeah, I slightly cross threaded one lug stud. Figured I'd ask here to avoid spending on a set. 🙁

I believe the stud is 1/2"-20NC.

I'm open to any advice as well. Thanks

Remove the bad stud and replace it with a new one.

Like Rob and John said. Or, flapper disk the stud end in to a taper and the nut will go righ back on.

All great suggestions. Fortunately, it was only 2 threads and I used a thread file to end the annoyance in 5 minutes.

The tap and die were my close reserve for the remedy as well. Only like 5 blocks away from Sir RockinCrawler!! Thanks so much and glad I didn't have to use it anyways.

Glad everything worked out.

Now the important question: Was that Sierra Nevada on the counter?

No sir. Grand Teton Sweetwater IPA. My BILs.

We did have a Sierra Nevada Saison earlier though. Perfectly refreshing after track bar installation.
