I have, at great effort on my part, removed all the threads on the passenger side strut. Can I get a nice rethreader (is that a word?) kit and fix it up or do I get to buy a new set of struts. These are Bilstein struts off a '77 911. I have been told that they are not rebuildable but one seems to have a wide collar and the other has a thin silver top.
Help! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Were is the xanax....... |

It's called a thread die. I have no idea why you removed the ones on there unless you stripped all with the nut trying to remove it. A handy device for all tool boxes, large or small, is a nut splitter in the event that is what happened. Anything is worth trying. You can try to rethread the threads but try to get it started as straight as possible and use plenty of threading oil to keep the shavings out of the die as they will likely gum up the die and make your job fail having 100% good threads.
