FAQs
What types of thread damage can this set repair?
This set is designed to repair light thread damage, such as minor cross-threading or surface imperfections. It is not intended for severely stripped, Galled, or corroded threads.
What kind of oil should I use?
A light general-purpose machine oil or a specific cutting fluid is recommended for lubrication during use.
How do I know which chaser to use?
The set includes metric (M20, M22, M24) and imperial (UNEF) sizes with specific pitches clearly marked. Match the chaser's markings to the thread size and pitch on the CV joint you are working on.
Can I use this on threads other than CV joints?
While primarily designed for CV joints, these chasers can be used on other threaded shafts with compatible thread sizes and pitches, provided they are not excessively damaged.
How should I store the set?
The set comes with a durable storage case. Keep the chasers clean and dry, and store them in their designated slots within the case to protect the threads and ensure organization.
What is the net weight of the set?
The net weight of the set is 0.44kg.
Is this set suitable for professional daily use?
The set is suitable for workshop use and can handle frequent repairs of light thread damage. For extremely heavy-duty or frequent severe damage repair, professional-grade, specialized tools might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Chaser is difficult to turn or binds
Ensure you are using sufficient light oil for lubrication. Verify that you have selected the correct chaser size and pitch for the thread. Clean any debris from the damaged threads before attempting to use the chaser.
Threads are not being repaired effectively
This set is designed for light damage. If the threads are severely stripped or corroded, the chaser may not be sufficient. Ensure the chaser is clean and free of debris. Try applying slightly more pressure, but avoid forcing it to prevent further damage.
Chaser appears to be creating new damage
Double-check that the correct chaser size and pitch are being used. Ensure the chaser is threading on straight and not at an angle. Reduce the turning speed and ensure adequate lubrication.

- Suitable for both professional and home garage use.
- Effectively repairs light thread damage, saving on replacement costs.
- Includes a convenient and durable storage case.

Cons
- Only effective for light thread damage; severe damage may require replacement parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Use: To use the CVJ Thread Chaser Set, first identify the size and pitch of the damaged thread on the CV joint. Select the corresponding chaser from the set. Apply a light coat of oil to both the chaser's threads and the damaged threads on the CV joint shaft. Carefully thread the chaser onto the damaged section, turning it clockwise by hand to start. Once engaged, continue to turn the chaser slowly and steadily, applying consistent pressure. The chaser will cut away minor imperfections, effectively reforming the damaged threads. After use, remove the chaser and clean any metal shavings and residual oil from both the chaser and the CV joint.
Compatibility: This set is designed for CV joints with thread sizes including M20 x 1.25, M20 x 1.5, M22 x 1, M22 x 1.5, M24 x 1.5, M24 x 2mm, 3/4" x 20 UNEF, and 13/16" x 20 UNEF. It is generally compatible with most vehicles utilizing these common thread specifications.
Care: After each use, clean the chasers thoroughly with a brush to remove metal debris and oil. Dry them completely to prevent rust. Store the chasers back in their designated slots within the durable storage case to maintain organization and protect the cutting edges. Avoid exposing the tools to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
