Double check with a lug nut taken off at the local hardware store to be sure. Or check a Ford truck forum. E250 and F250 of the same year should be the same in most cases. **Q: I'm in need of a 3/4-16 split die. i cannot find one. if you can point me in the right direction the would be great? help!!!!** A: Thank you for taking the time to reach out!

Started on back and worked to the front slowly. Use cutting oil and vice scrips and it will work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by A***L on February 23, 2026* Great tool to clean up damaged threads. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, nice case and easy to use. *by D***R on August 31, 2025* Received and used it the same day on two different cars. Lug nuts were hard to put on. Chose a good portion of the thread, attached the split die and used my impact wrench to go forward and back a few times on the affected wheel studs on both cars. Very easy to use. Bought some new lug nuts and I was good to go. Good kit for me to add to my arsenal. Good quality and nice case as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - Steelman 1/2-20 SAE Split Die Thread Chaser, Indexing Pins, Steel, Repairs Threads on Wheel Studs and Bolts - Century Drill & Tool, 92910, 1/2-20NF,Rethreading Die,Tool Set, Thread Repair --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/117325824-steelman-1-2-20-sae-split-die-thread-chaser-indexing](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/117325824-steelman-1-2-20-sae-split-die-thread-chaser-indexing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
