Tap/Thread size for BX25 front hubs?

[origami]

I have damaged (or debris-filled) threads on one position of my front hub after the old lug bolt seized. I'd like to run a tap through to see if I can't restore the threads. Does anybody know what tap size I should use? Measurements indicate it's an M14x1.5 but I'd like to confirm before ordering. Any other advice is welcome. Thanks.

They are 9/16 bolts, not metric.

a Jeep would have you talking to yourself....

metric/standard/torx/reverse torx (whatever you call them)

needless to say, you walk back to the toolbox a lot.

Thank you, NIW. So 9/16 UNF (18 tpi)?

Thank you. Thread restorers may be the way to go.

why not just use a 9/16-18 tap ? If you don't have one, grab a grade5 9/16-18 bolt and run a dremel cutoff 90* to the threads? Even a fine hacksaw will do the same.oil it, in 360 back off 90, in 360 back off 90, in ............

Reporting back to confirm that the front lug bolts are 9/16 - 18 TPI. Thread restorer worked great.

Thanks all.
