wiper pivot nut threads

My pivot threads need to be cleaned up so the nuts will go on easily. Do you guys have any suggestions? Can you get a thread chaser that large?

You can certainly get a die in that size, but you can also look at getting a "thread file". It is square and has 8 different thread spacings (threads per inch) with file "teeth" that fit into the groves on your item. I use mine a lot to clean up large diameter bolts since having a set of good die in those sizes is spendy. Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/KD-Tools-Thread-R ... B000VXIXUK

Hope this helps,

Yes, thank you. This sounds like something everyone should have in their tool drawer. I've even had to clean up the threads on new fasteners at times. They may look pretty, but the machining isn't very good.

I would also put never-seize on them as well

The thread file worked wonders! I wish I would have had one of these years ago. The nice thing is that you can concentrate on the specific areas that need to be addressed, be it thread problems, paint overspray, or corrosion.

I keep a thread file wrapped in oiled paper in my toolbox at all times.
Very handy tool!
