I painted my leaf springs and made the mistake of not masking the bolt threads. Now I can't get the bolts to thread, and I'm wondering what is the safest way to clean the threads without damaging them.
I've heard of Dremel-ing them out with a wire attachment (at low speed) and also chasing the threads with a tap and die. Both options make me a little concerned that I'll ruin the threads. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
