Ital Half shaft thread size?

[Nigel Riches]

Trying to get the half shafts out of the axle, but they are not of that idea, various papers advise to use a slide hammer, but don't indicate the thread size for the fitment of the tool to the shaft end, the nut is 15/16, and being a BL car probably a UNC or UNF I don't have a thread gauge up for that size.

Any pointers from anyone here, or other information gratefully received, before I have to get animal with it, 

Cheers.

OK looks like it's sorted, a quick measure with the verniers, and a count of the turns in half inch of thread and a few minutes in my trusty old Zeus tables, show that a 5/8" UNF thread form is what I have here.

So now off to the local nut and bolt merchant for some nuts, washers and a length of threaded rod and a slide hammer will be in my possession. Just need to source a lump of steel for the hammer part. I know a plain rod would work better but that would mean putting a thread on the ends and I don't have that sort of size die nut, so improvisation to the rescue again.

Cheers to anyone who may have had a look at this post.

You are way ahead of me Nigel.
