DITTO, The trick is to insure the die chases the original threads back. Simply recutting a new line of threads won't hold for long. Use a triangular file to clean the first round of threads so the die will start in the old pattern then start the die by hand so you can feel it thread down. Takes a bit of patience but if the threads have not been totaly torn off, the crank will be saved.
