What size nut and bolt do I need to tap in He said in his post: 3/8"-24 tap and the bolt and nut would be of the same size/pitch. Bill P.S. That means, 3/8" diameter and 24 threads/inch. |

I think the nut and bolt were smaller 1/4-20. To go inside the bushing to drive it in.(if you go back ans look at the pictures.

You bought 3/8-16 instead of 24 so you will have less threads to be pulling against when you remove it so, be careful. Bill |

With less threads per inch, you may only end up pulling against 2 or 3 threads so, if you are not careful, you will strip those few threads out when you run the nut on it as a puller. The higher threads per inch would have given you more threads to pull against as that bushing is not very long...maybe .500" or around there. That tap you bought is tapered and there will be no threads for the first .400" or so. Does this make sense to you? Remember, you are drilling and tapping into a blind hole. (Hole with a bottom) So, the end of the tap with no threads can not pass on through so...you only get a few threads. Bill |
