Rethreading for lug bolt

[ericsmith32]

How would one go about doing this? The Aspire has one stripped I don't think cross threaded. I have a bunch of lug bolts left over from parts car. I was thinking about just trying putting the impact gun on one to see if I can convince it. Ideas?

take a die grinder or hacksaw and cut a few grooves that go perpindicular to the threads and screw it in by wrench. that should clean the threads up pretty well

These work great for the problem you are having.

Thanks I'll probably get a tap and die from Harbor Freight in a couple weeks. Don't really need anything expensive as I probably won't use it once every 10 years. I tried forcing a lug bolt in to no avail.
