Thread chasing VCU spline shaft

[MGT]

Anyone got any experience of chasing the thread of the spline shaft of the VCU after forcing it off the propshaft?

I know it's an M10x1 thread and there is thread chaser that size on eBay for a few quid, but having spent so much energy getting the damn thing off I don't want to use something cheap if there are better alternatives out there.

I have resisted trying to persuade the bolt to go in there so far.

Not sure what you are trying to do.

Did you use the bolt suitably adjusted to get leverage to pull the UJ yoke off ??

If so then the bolt is sacrificial and might be bent but never had thread damage.

How did you remove the VCU from UJ ??

To be honest, if the thread is anything more than slightly damage for the first couple of threads, I'd scrap the VCU. They're plentiful and pretty cheap now.
